Question:

I can't figure out what Museum this is......?

I can't figuire what the name of a museum is that I seen on Ripleys Believe it ot not a few years ago. It has humans filled with wax & they look dead & alive all at once. It's in Europe somewhere I believe. But it's scientific I think too. Any ideas about any museums with human artifacts & abnormalities? I always wanted to visit a museum like that but I don't know the names of any or where to search for them...

Do you mean this - Body Worlds? Gunther von Hagens from Germany uses a plastination technique on real bodies. Here's an article on him from Wikipedia, with links for further information:
