Article needs "History" section

Aside from all the Wikipedia policy violations I've corrected, this article should include a history of the museum. Also, the lead should be, by policy, an encapsulation of the article, and not contain information not found elsewhere in the article. -- 207.237.230.157 (talk) 00:07, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

"best known person associated with the Museum"

No disrespect to Ms Worden, but wouldn't Dr Mutter be the best-known person associated with the Museum? And a full paragraph about Ms Aptowicz who really (again, no disrespect) needs no more mention than as the author of a book about the man who created the Museum in the first place and gave it its original material. Even if Mutter doesn't deserve a W article of his own (perhaps he does), his contribution to the founding of this Museum is certainly very relevant. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 22:37, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Grover Cleveland's tumor.

The Museum holds the wet specimen oral tumor of President Grover Cleveland, removed in secret, and lied about when the news was leaked. The cover-up wasn't corroborated until 1917, after the President's death, when one of the doctors, William Williams Keen, published an account of the surgery. (Seen on Mysteries at the Museum, S4 E5 "Cleveland Tumor; Lions of Tsavo; Willamette Meteorite".) Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 05:33, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Is this an article or a brochure to visit the museum? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.11.81.111 (talk) 06:02, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
