Yes it is Open!

We hope you'll plan a visit soon! We are open Wednesday-Sunday from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. (closed Monday and Tuesday). Check our website at http://www.medicalmuseum.mil for our COVID-visiting guidelines.

No need. It is located outside the base open to the public.

Entry is free.

There parking lot is definitely large enough for buses but I would call ahead and make sure that it is okay to park a bus in their parking lot.

I wouldn't. The displays are of severed organs and often sickness or malady. I would steer clear of here. The museum is really intended for adults and those interested in health.

Not sure what you mean by amenities? It's got a nice, big parking lot and spacious bathrooms.

You're supposed to Google questions like that, not post a question on Google maps. Every single person who left a review on this place is now getting an alert that they need to answer your question.

Free!

Following the autopsy, the museum collected Wirz's radius and ulna, the axis and atlas vertebrae, and a portion of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The arm bones were kept to examine Wirz's claims about the limited use of his arm due to an old injury, and the other materials were kept to document the effects of hanging to demonstrate that the vertebrae were not damaged, though the muscle (which attaches just behind the ear on the skull to the top of the sternum) was torn.

As a DoD museum we are not able to provide appraisals. If you would like to talk with one of our collections managers about this item, please contact us through our website at http://www.medicalmuseum.mil.

Currently the museum is closed for safety and health precautions. When we re-open, we will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. We have exhibits related to innovation in American military medicine.

No, nobody is buried here. They do have human remains, but simply for scientific study. They have fragments of Abraham Lincoln's skull. No, no one is buried here. They have human remains, but simply for scientific study. They have fragments of the skull of Abraham Lincoln

The parking lot is fairly large and the museum is rarely crowded, so finding two open head-to-head spaces is possible. But no dedicated truck and trailer parking.
