Norwich, Connecticut
On display since the 1970s, a ropey, desiccated human arm and hand is an unexpected treat in a museum of art and history.

A long-closed attraction that became more interesting as it decayed. Opened in 1958, closed for decades, some efforts to restore; ~2025 most is a shrinking ruin.
