Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences
Housed in an Edwardian-style redbrick building at the top of Ladder Street, this quirky museum was formerly Hong Kong's Bacteriological Institute, set up after a plague outbreak in 1894 ravaged the surrounding Tai Ping Shan neighborhood. The most interesting exhibits are to do with the outbreak and its aftermath; in the rather chilling basement are a selection of primitive surgical tables and a former autopsy room.
