«Breaking News» Inside the museum where hundreds of human BRAINS are displayed

Here's a tourist attraction that'll get you thinking - India's first ever brain museum.

It's housed inside the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (Nimhans) in Bangalore - formerly the Bangalore Lunatic Asylum.

It has just recently opened up to visitors, who can peer at brains in display cases - and even hold them.

One of the workers at the brain museum holds up a human brain that is on display. The researchers who lead tours there encourage visitors to hold the brains in an effort to 'demystify' them

Among the brains on display are those from people who have suffered from a range of illnesses including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. Each brain is labelled with the disease or injury it suffered

The museum displays other parts of the human body, too, including the lungs of a heavy smoker (pictured), a pancreas, kidneys, a heart, a voice box and a full skeleton 

Scientists working at Nimhans examine the brains and other organs of people who have left their bodies to medical science.

Dr. S.K. Shankar, who has worked at the institute for decades, told Atlas Obscura: 'People think these neurological diseases are something like an evil spirit. We want to remove that idea.'

In addition they also show brains that have suffered injuries such as haemorrhages.

The museum's website says a visit to the lab is a 'once in a lifetime experience' and is the only museum of its kind in India

The museum's website says a visit to the lab is a 'once in a life time experience' and is the only museum of its kind in India.

But the lab in India isn't the only brain museum in the world - the Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo Hospital in Lima, Peru, also has a massive collection of diseased and healthy brains. 

The hospital, which was founded more than three centuries ago, has a total of 2,912 brains collected over the years, and nearly 300 of these are on display in a mind-opening exhibit.

On arrival, visitors are invited to touch a real skull, where they can feel the cranial bone structure and imagine how it holds 22 square feet of intricately-folded brain matter.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
