Lots of things to look at and information to be had!

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.

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]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.
