Siriraj Medical Museum

Siriraj Medical Museum

Siriraj Medical Museum, also known as the "Museum of Death" or "Corpse Museum," is a museum affiliated with Siriraj Hospital in Thailand. Visiting this museum requires a strong stomach, as it is extremely horrifying and disturbing—unsuitable for those with weak nerves or sensitive stomachs.

The museum features a rich variety of exhibits, making it an ideal destination for medical students and police academy cadets to conduct research—it serves as a highly effective educational tool. The museum is divided into six galleries: the Forensic Medicine Gallery, Pathology Gallery, Parasitology Gallery, Anatomy Gallery, Prehistory Gallery, and Thai Medical History Gallery. The Forensic Medicine Gallery displays corpses and photographs of victims from traffic accidents, crimes, and other incidents, all used for forensic examination. The Anatomy Gallery houses not only nervous system and digestive organ specimens but also dozens of preserved specimens in formaldehyde, including hydrocephalus cases and abnormal fetuses. The Thai Medical History Gallery outlines the evolution of traditional and official medical practices in Thailand from ancient times to the present and showcases various types of medications.

The museum displays complete corpses as well as limb and organ specimens—all donated by individuals who passed away due to suicide, accidents, or execution. Among the most terrifying and heartrending exhibits are the numerous infant corpses, most of whom died from congenital heart and lung deficiencies or as conjoined twins unable to survive birth—how can one not feel sorrow?
