Musée Dupuytren

Faculté de Médecine,
Université Pierre & Marie Curie


Founded in 1835 and tucked within the confines of the convent Les Cordeliers, the museum was shuttered in 1937. Thankfully, Musée Dupuytren was re-established in 1967. Although many specimens were lost or destroyed at the time of the museum's closure, the collection today is still excellent with many rare and important items.

These magnificent galleries on Jardin des Plantes opened in 1898 for l‘Expositions universelles de Paris. The building itself is a glorious art-nouveau masterpiece full of bones, fossils, and other specimens.



Meguro Parasitological Museum


A private research facility in Tokyo devoted to the study of parasites. The museum is open to the public free of charge (though donations are accepted). One interesting specimen on display is the world's largest tapeworm.
