"Housed at the University of Amsterdam, Museum Vrolik contains one of the largest historical collections of human and animal deformities assembled by the Vrolik father-son anatomists; I found the jars of fetuses, skeletons, and even remains of conjoined twins simultaneously informative and very strange." - Matthew Kepnes
