There are picnics in parks, stores to go shopping, or hiking in the woods.
But none of those pack in the gritty and gruesome attractions that some of us are looking for.
The Mutter Museum is a collection of bizarre bodily exhibits.
Museum Of Death (Facebook)
Dr. Thomas Mutter donated his studies in 1858 for exhibit the study of disease and its treatment over time.
Its perfect for those interested in the medically grotesque.

Not only can you tour the crime scene, but you’re free to even stay there overnight.
It is decorated exactly the same as it was in 1892 with a few additional crime scene photos.

Cryptozoology means the study of hidden animals.

So think Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman, etc.
Anything that has yet to be proven true but is believed to be.
The exhibits display creepy mannequins demonstrating the antiquated and horrifying techniques used to treat mental health patients.
New Orleans Pharmacy Museum
Vent Haven Museum is a museum of ventriloquy.
It has all the creepy moving and talking dolls your heart desires.
Its a whole building of lifeless eyes that are always following you.
Human skeletons, bird skeletons, reptile skeletons, etc.

Museum of Funeral History (@funeralmuseum)
If mortality intrigues you, this is the place to go.
It features different types of coffins and hearses as well as burial rites through the ages.
Remember when they used to give cocaine as medicine?
Well, I mean, we werent there for that.
But you know how they did that?
Well, thats just the tip of the iceberg at the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum.
The have leeches and opioid-soaked tampons and everything in between.
Unfortunately, there are no free samples.
Theyre probably not that hard to find just based on, again, the 1000+ haunted items.

This one does not need much explaining.
It promises death and dying, and thats what it delivers.
It also supposedly has the largest collection of artwork done by serial killers.
Serial killers like to paint too?
Theyre just like us!
