Hunterian Museum

“A small museum but offering a very good experience. The staff at reception is nice offering what to expect inside, the rest is up to you to explore. It's not your everyday museum but a must visit for anyone interested in medical history and curiosity, but also for people just curios about the human body. Inside you will come across dissected human organs next to animal ones as for comparison. It's very informative and makes up appreciate for not living back in the days when surgery was at the beginning. The evolution of knowledge, instruments, procedures in medical area is astonishing, and is still evolving to this day. The museum offers a lockers for your stuff during your visit. Closest tube station is Holborn, les then 10 minutes walk. If you want to walk to the Thames river it's about a 15 minutes walk.”

“The Hunterian museum is a must-visit if you want to find out how 16th century medicine contributed to nowadays treatments and technology. The free access is defo a plus and the fact that there are free tours of the potraits and the building hosted by retired doctors is a great benefit. I attended one at 12.30 and I found it very interesting. I would not recommend it only if you are particulary squeemish.”

“Recently visited the Hunterian Museum and was very impressed. It brings together medical history and science in a clear, engaging way, with well-curated displays, interactive touch screens, and an excellent 3D human anatomy screen. The staff were welcoming, and although entry is free, it’s best to pre-book. A truly unique and memorable place to visit in London.”

“Absolutely amazing museum. I throughly enjoyed it and found the artefacts incredibly interesting. It was well laid out, with each item in the collection clearly labelled, as well as a few interactive elements which were very educational. The staff were very lovely, also! They accommodated us even though we were later than the ticket time.”
