Have you ever visited a museum? To lure viewers and guests, some museums feature bizarre and extraordinary artifacts. Most museums display vintage and historical objects. However, this creepy museum in the Netherlands relies on eeriness and shock value to draw in visitors.

Photos of this creepy museum spread like wildfire on social media, and people were intrigued with the museum’s spine-chilling displays.

The Museum Vrolik in Amsterdam, the Netherlands houses more than 150 specimens of dead infants with anatomical deformities and abnormalities. This gruesome collection was first owned by Gerardus Vrolik and his son, Willem Vrolik. During the 1800’s, the father and son were amazed by teratology or the study of congenital deformities and abnormalities.

They wrote an extensive study on this subject and by the time they had died, they had already amassed a tremendous amount of deformed specimens.

In 1869, the city of Amsterdam bought their collection and displayed it to the public. They named the museum in honor of the Vroliks. By the time the city of Amsterdam bought it, the creepy museum had already contained more than 150 specimens of bone pathology, dental collection, and other teratological wonders.

To preserve the state of the bodies, the corpses of the babies were suspended in a solution mixed with formaldehyde. Visitors are able to inspect the different deformities of the various specimens. The vast collection includes infants with extra limbs, badly-conjoined twins, infants with no eyes, babies with cleft palates, and a cyclops baby.

You’d think that people would be terrified of these gruesome specimens, but these teratology examples actually serve as the main attraction in the museum. People from all over the globe visit the creepy museum just to get a peek at these exotic specimens.
