Cesare Lombroso's Museum of Criminal Anthropology
This museum is so dedicated to Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso that they have his head on display in a glass chamber. A man whose personal beliefs and research into detecting criminality through physiognomy, assessing a person’s character from one’s outer facial appearance, took him on a wild ride of examining criminal’s skulls for "median occipital fossette" and other biological anomalies. Along with his head, his specimens, weapons and criminal evidence are on display. His methods were both accepted and rejected here and across the pond (we hear he was racist, too). Check it out, and maybe you can be the judge of what’s “criminal.”
