But I can't imagine the same scenario for a health museum. Will people just randomly decide to attend? Plus, the CDC already has a health museum, and it has low attendance.
But, if they can raise the money and build it, good for them. Maybe it will be a smaller museum that doesn't need a lot of attendance to stay afloat. I just would hate to see a new museum open and then close a few years later due to lack of attendance.

i agree, i think it's a weird idea. however, 'bodies', which is the most abhorrent display of morbidity and amorality i've ever seen passed off as an 'exhibit' (the bodies are chinese prisoners who died under 'mysterious reasons' sold to the taxidermist who started 'bodies') has had an incredible success.
if people will go see that, maybe there's hope for a much more reasonable 'health museum'.
