I enjoyed the history of medicine museum and that it was not a typical tourist museum to visit. I loved the basement that was kept or made to look like typical medicine shops, workshops, and such from the past. I especially enjoyed being able to touch the clay feet  from 200 AD and how much more lax their rules were at academic museums in Italy versus any museums in the US. It was helpful to see the chronological order of how medicine developed and the child that had his brain operated on and survived for several weeks was extremely interesting to show the skill of surgeons thousands of years ago.

  2. Yeah I thought it was super cool to look at how skilled these surgeons were given the kinds of tools they had! It's awesome that many of them survived and are practiced today
