The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices is in a storefront
in a mall called "Riverwalk" or something similar, in Minneapolis-
St Paul.
 
  --------At Riverplace, just across the Mississippi River on Hennepin
   (?) Ave. (It's been almost 3 years since I moved away.  Please
   forgive if this is wrong :) )
 
 
 
I recommend it very highly.  In addition to the attraction
of all those weird devices, the proprietor is a fascinating
character himself, and a double for WC Fields.
 
--bayla (while you're in M'polis-StP, also stop at the Bakken
Library of Electricity in Life, which is in a lovely lakeside
mansion, and houses medical instruments as well as a unique
collection of books and ephemera.
   -----------I volunteered here one summer.  If you can think of some
   fun thing you'd like to research, you can actually look at the
   books!  (I can tell you, there's nothing like the pictures in a
   13th century "medical book" !
 
 
 
Then stop off at the supermarket Byerly's which has an
*incredible* pastry department -- they give you a three-page
typed list of what's in what luscious goodie...
   --------------Try the restaurant too.  EXCELLENT wild rice soup.
   (Also kept in the frozen food aisle so you can take it home with
   you!)  [Can you tell I'm getting homesick?]
