Not sure why, but it’s cool to see the gritty and strange oddities of the world and it being displayed in these museums. Thanks Jacob!

[@brendakrieger7000]

Me too! Weird but so fascinating!

[@sep2383]

Thank you so much for a very respectful tour of this museum. I found it extremely helpful and fascinating having worked in the medical field for 26 years.

[@FoxNHound]

I think its kinda cruel that they have Peter Cluckely’s skeleton still in the same chair he had to suffer in all his life. Edit: To all the snarky replies-look, if I was forced to sit in a chair my entire life-I wouldn’t want my final resting place to be in that chair. Maybe it was in Cluckely’s will that he wanted to be in the chair after he died or something. I just thought it was a bit morbid. Damn…

[@lisajoyce6803]

I think so too I also think it’s disrespectful as hell I mean he was forced to sit there in life because he couldn’t move but to leave his skeleton in the chair for the shock value of museum visitors.Karma is going to get someone for that

[@seasons1650]

He's dead.

Oh, has he been calling you about it? Sounds better than a box in the ground

[@victoriajohnson4420]

Jacob, have you been to the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia? It is the crown jewel of all medical museums and worth a trip to Philadelphia just to see it. It is like an old time side show, but it is also a serious medical research facility.

[@heatheral-hammadi3046]

While the Mutter is very cool, if you have never heard of Body World you need to check it out. It’s a bunch of cadavers that have been preserved by a process called plastification. They dissect them in various stages. Amazing.

[@C_H_W]

He has been there, it a little long ago though. But there is a video of it on his channel somewhere 😊

[@nurseydebdeb8539]

My grandpa was a ww1 vet and he was one of the lucky ones he survived from being mustards gassed, then he had a plate in his head from the war. He died in 1976 when I was a kid. I am trying to find more out about his ww1 tours. I do have his enlistment and discharge paperwork written in pencil, that I found when my parents died. But when you showed that trachea from a soldier that had been gassed I was so thankful my grandfather was one of the lucky one.

[@helenwhite2957]

No way! Really!? He must have been so brave!

[@nurseydebdeb8539]

@helenwhite2957 yes I am so very proud of my grandfather, I wish I would have been older so I could have learned more about ww1. But yes very proud he even lied about his age when he enlisted he was one year younger.

[@mikehughes4969]

That museum was equally fascinating and terrifying. I can't even imagine how haunted it is.

[@PeaNutttyyy]

I love haunted things lol. I HOPe it is, I want to go there sooooo bad

[@vectorwolf]

Nah, no one actually died there, it's probably pretty quiet. No one's gonna come slogging back from the afterlife just to visit their left foot... I suppose that hunk of field hospital floor might be a little spicy.

[@mikehughes4969]

I have been investigating ghosts, cryptids and the paranormal in general for forty years. Yes, ghosts usually haunt the place where they die, but that's not always the case. They can haunt an object or a possession they were attached to in life, or even a place they felt a deep connection with. And what was on the museum site before it was built? I'm going to be doing some research into it, but I would love to investigate the museum itself.

[@PeaNutttyyy]

@@mikehughes4969 that’s so cool!!

[@mikehughes4969]

[@monilangeKootenays]

Hear, hear!

[@OldMovieRob]

So morbid yet fascinating. Can't imagine what it would be like to visit a museum that you knew had one of your own bones on display.

[@Northern.Town.]

Used to live in Maryland. There is no doubt that it is one of the more interesting states I've been to. Love this stuff! Thank you!

[@kct1975]

At one point I actually worked at the Defense Health Agency [DHA] in Sliver Spring MD and I got a Private Tour of the National Museum of Health and Medicine ! It is a VERY Interesting Museum! Glad you, Jacob, you got a chance to see it and show it to your viewers!

[@cynthiajohns0n442]

This is my favorite! Worked the medical industry for over 30 yrs & haven't seen most of what you shared! Thank you buddy!

[@christopherm5958]

Some very thoughtful points you make. Really appreciate.

[@neweyes777]

Opioids are the best, and most effective drugs for pain both yesterday and in our era. There are many in the USA that suffer from chronic pain that have had their meds drastically reduced due to oppressive regulations, which is very sad, it ruins the quality of life concerning pain patients. The honest patient that abides by the guidelines is punished because of those that don't, and because of the street fentanyl [ opioid ] coming across our southern border that is killing so many people. Our healthcare should NEVER be political, it should be practiced between the Dr. and patient, only your Dr. knows your needs intimately. God bless and heal the most vulnerable amongst us.

[@kr-pm1xg]

The same thing happens to "legal gun owners".. They blame all the illegal stuff firearms are used for on the legal owners.. ...but..the legal owners ARE the victims here as well..

[@disco0752]

I used to play hooky and hang in this museum when it was at the Smithsonian years ago. Quite a remarkable museum. Thanks!

[@christopherm5958]

That was fantastic Jacob. You show so much sympathy and empathy I truly appreciate your heart felt feelings.

[@JO3YSworld]

I was a surgical instrument technician until last year - we still use spoons in surgery.

[@laurafa8297]

Thank you for filming this museum visit. I really liked watching it! It was very interesting!

[@asianburnout]

Jacob, I enjoy how your commentary has grown with you since the last time you explored this museum. Thanks for another banger!

[@messinacox4915]

I love watching these videos! I am a history buff, and I could watch them on repeat all day. ❤

[@uncountablehey3346]

I'm not sure why, but I really like your decision to put the spoken intro before the titles - it really does give it a nice structure!

[@ksbeditor]

I've visited this museum. An uncle of a friend went there many years ago and passed out due to viewing some of these items.

[@robylove9190]

This was an amazing museum. Thanks, Jacob.

[@conditionallyunconditional5691]

I remember visiting this museum on a school field trip. It rocked! Thanks for going down memory lane on 420!

[@nicholedecker9124]

We, my brother's and sister, play with my dad's leg. He lost his leg just below the knee. I was 6 mo. Old when that happened. He was in a truck wreck. His best friend was driving, and my dad was in the sleeper. They were traveling in the mountains of northern California. For ten years, nobody knew because his friend didn't make it. Then, after 10 years, someone got a letter from a woman saying she had accidently run them if the road. We were very familiar how the legs were made because we would go to the leg shop with dad and watch. We had fun but my dad probably didn't because we were all over that shop! Thanks for sharing this fascinating video!

[@matthewfarmer2520]

I love all kinds of museum on different stuff, it's like you think you seen it all then out of nowhere, there's another museum of something new or strange lol. Thanks for sharing Jacob. This museum reminds me a little of Mutter museum in Philadelphia. Have your fun, thanks for taking us along.😊📱🙏

[@znowicotton5176]

Thank you for all of your travels 🙏❤ especially for those of us unable to travel ourselves to all of these amazing and fascinating places and treasure troves!

The national museum of civil war medicine in Frederick Maryland is a very interesting place to visit if you are ever in that area. Cute little town too.

[@sondragramse1770]

Great tour of a museum

I was lucky enough to see Lincoln’s chair where he was shot at the president museum in Detroit, still has the blood stain surprisingly

This was very interesting. My son has a prosthetic leg. I showed him prosthetics in your video. He said that was cool

She did tell the story of how they met on her channel. Jenny Penny. But yes a Q and A would be fun.

Looking forward to seeing the next episode of carpetbagger. (My apatite might return by then 😮)

[@mariekatherine5238]

This is crazy place. It used to be on the site of Walter Reed. All those stillborn deformed babies in jars…so sad. I always pray for their souls in case they have them. I also like the Civil War soldier’s leg that used to visit once a year on the anniversary of its loss and drink a pint to honor it! I hope they still have it!

[@ginamau5]

You’re such a cool person. Please don’t forget that. I love your videos. Ive been here for years. 💜

If you liked that place Jacob you should go to the Mutter Museum in Philly. Very similar to this place but bigger.

I know I'm a day late to watch and comment, but I'm amused by all the people who were grossed out by this video. Medical museums like this are some of my absolute favorites, and I watched this video while eating my lunch, lol. I know this type of content isn't for everybody, but I find it fascinating. Anyway, I'm still trying to get caught up on some of your old videos, so I don't know if you've been there already (or if they even allow filming), but like a few others have said, I would love to see you go through the Mutter Museum!

This is by far the best museum regarding the human body & oddities of the human body. I have seen two different videos of the Mutter museum & didn't see much interesting in both videos. The big things that were shown in both of the Mutter museum was a mega colon & the conjoined twins.
