The museum has twenty-five million objects, including preserved organs and the remains of more than five thousand creatures. Tim Clark is the museum's deputy director.
“This skeleton is of one of our first animal astronauts. Abel was a monkey who flew into space for a very brief period of time in nineteen fifty-nine."
The museum also has objects that have been used for medical research by the United States military. The collection includes the bullet that killed President Abraham Lincoln in eighteen sixty-five. Tim Clark says he tells visitors how the military has aided progress in medicine.
“It became the lessons learned from the battlefield that taught the next generation of physicians and surgeons at the time as science and medicine was evolving rapidly."
The museum also has an area specializing in brain injuries.
"What we have here is a contrecoup injury."
Andrea Schierkolk is the museum's public programs manager.
"This is something we wanted to highlight through actual brain specimens that show these injuries so that people can visually understand what goes on with the brain and how it is changed and why we have these resulting behavior and function problems."
Michael Koser and his family came to see the museum.
“The pathology that I am seeing here is really interesting as far as learning about the human anatomy and some of the issues that can occur from certain injuries."
