Review & FAQ:

A trip to the dentist might not seem like the best way to spend an afternoon, but tourists could find the Museum of the History of Dentistry something they can sink their teeth into. The rather bizarre museum explores how dentistry has evolved since the 17th century until today. Guests can appreciate how far modern medicine has come while exploring exhibits containing all sorts of historical dental equipment, from dental drills powered by a foot pedal to the first fluoroscope. Located inside the Old Town Hall, the museum operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM and offers free admission.
