The Siriraj Medical Museum, often called the Museum of Death, is a collection of several museums within Siriraj Hospital, one of Thailand's oldest medical institutions. It houses an extensive array of anatomical and pathological specimens, including preserved organs, skeletons, and fetuses with congenital abnormalities. The museum also features exhibits on forensic medicine, including displays related to famous criminal cases.
