Lonely Planet review for Pathologisch-Anatomisches Bundesmuseum
The Pathologisch-Anatomisches Bundesmuseum (Pathological Anatomy Museum) is not for the weak of heart. Filled with medical oddities and abnormalities preserved in jars of formaldehyde, plus the odd wax model with one grisly disease or another, the museum definitely will take your breakfast to the edge. Tours last 45 minutes but there are no set times – just roll up and ask, or call ahead. The Narrenturm itself dates from 1784 and is a delightfully circular, neoclassical design by the Franco-Austrian Isidore Canevale (1730–86).
