We arranged a small group tour here and it was great. There are a lot of fascinating things to see here. The iron lung was especially interesting -- had always heard about them but seeing one in person was mind boggling. Also seeing all the things that were once at the front edge of medical science and now make me cringe -- wow. The volunteers who led the tour loved their subject and did a good job.
