Housed in a 1917 Gold Coast mansion modeled on a French chateau, this delightfully macabre museum traces the history of surgery through antique instruments, an apothecary, and paintings of medical milestones. Its oddball charm and lakefront setting make it a memorable solo visit. Time it to a free Tuesday to see it for nothing.
