Glore Psychiatric Museum

Missouri · United States · School

A museum of psychiatric treatment inside a former state hospital, with the morgue still in the basement.

The Glore in St Joseph, Missouri is a museum of psychiatric treatment, housed in a building of the former state hospital, and it holds one of the most unsettling collections in America: the restraints, the devices and the treatments used on patients across a century and a half.

What is reported includes noises and figures, with the third floor associated with a man in dress trousers, and a former patient described walking the corridors throughout the building.

The basement is where accounts concentrate, because the morgue is down there. Motion detectors go off with nobody in the space.

The museum exists to make people look directly at how the mentally ill were treated, which is a serious purpose and a better reason to visit than any of the above.

It is open to the public.
