Treatment. Glore Psychiatric Museum

Definitely worth $5 and a few hours of my time. Four floors of information and exhibits. If you're into the whole early haunted asylums scene and what-not, you'll probably dig it. [Danny, 10/01/2010]

Patient treatment display. Glore Psychiatric Museum

Museums is four floors of curiosities, including (among other things) displays and artifacts from a mid-century mental hospital. See the contents of a compulsive swallower's stomach! Worth the $3 for students/$5 adults. [Sara, 05/30/2010]
Glore Psychiatric Museum

Just thought you might like to know that the Glore Psychiatric Museum, St. Joseph, Missouri, is open and going strong. We're still not through putting exhibits together, but we are way ahead of last year at this time. We plan a web-site, but that probably won't be online until late summer. [Scott Clark, 06/03/1998]
