Washington D.C. has no shortage of museums.  However, you’d have a hard time answering the following question, “Excuse me, do you know where the National Museum of Health and Medicine is located?”  Perhaps the museum’s location, 2500 Linden Lane, Silver Spring, MD 20910, makes it difficult for tourist to locate it.

Established during the Civil War, the National Museum of Health and Medicine serves as a  repository for specimens used in military research to better understand the human body.  After World War II, researchers at the museum began working on understanding human pathology.
