A fake skeleton sits in a bathtub in front of a sign that says "Fear the familiar! Approximatel 340 people drown in a bathtub every year in the United States. That puts odds of death by tub at about 1 in 10,500 in a lifetime."

The exhibit isn't specifically designed to be scary, but people may want to change their habits — including taking fewer baths — after visiting. Photo: Chloe Gonzales/Axios
