Bob McCoy, medical quackery expert.

Museum of Questionable Medical Devices closes; exhibits move to St. Paul

Medical quackery expert Bob McCoy closed his popular museum in Minneapolis on January 27, 2002. Bob, 75, has retired after 18 years of reading the lumps on skulls and subjecting visitors to healing rays and electro-therapies. Most of his collection of 300+ artifacts will be moved to the Minnesota Science Museum in St. Paul. A small exhibit there is promised to open in March. Though Bob will be out of the grind of day-to-day quackery, he plans to give occasional public presentations at the museum.
