Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, this is an old and fascinating collection of “anatomical, zoological and teratological specimens … with 150 specimens of congenital malformations”. Visiting it gets you out of the town centre, on the excellent public transport system for a bit of an adventure to a hospital.
Hardly anyone visits so you have the luxury of wandering round in peace. To see all these preserved foetuses with their unique medical conditions was mindblowing and just that bit different from the usual touristy stuff.
