The Meguro Parasitological Museum in Tokyo, Japan, is a unique and fascinating institution dedicated to the study and display of parasites and parasitology. Founded in 1953 by Dr. Satoru Kamegai, the museum houses an extensive collection of over 60,000 parasite specimens, including a 29-foot-long tapeworm. The exhibits are designed to educate the public about the diverse world of parasites, their life cycles, and their impact on both humans and animals. The museum also serves as a valuable resource for researchers and students in the field of parasitology.
