Housed within Nagasaki University's esteemed research institute, the Museum of Tropical Medicine offers an eye-opening journey into the world of infectious diseases and public health. Rows of formaldehyde-filled jars showcase everything from parasitic larvae and venomous insects to preserved bats and historical bacterial cultures studied since the institute's founding in 1942. Informative public health displays and archival records illustrate how science has combated global epidemics over the decades. It makes for an intriguing, slightly macabre, and deeply educational detour for curious science and history enthusiasts.
