Apparently the Meguro Parasitological Museum is the world’s only museum focusing on everything parasite-related. Since its establishment in 1953, the quirky museum showcases gruesome specimens that will make your stomach churn and your skin itch. Boasting a collection of over 45,000 specimens, the Meguro Parasitological Museum’s most popular piece is probably the world’s largest tapeworm: 8.8 meters in length!
