I went there years ago and it was one of the best museums I went to. I really really loved it. I spent hours there, so many things to look at. It is not for the faint of heart though! Plus it’s free so overall just great!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
The Royal College of Surgeons boasts unrivalled collections of human and non-human anatomical and pathological specimens, models, instruments, painting and sculptures that reveal the art and science of surgery from the 17th century to the present day. Read on to find out about the individual collections’ history, highlights and unique treasures.
I've been there 10 years ok. Back than you had to walk through the medical college, which was a little confusing when you got caught in between students rushing to classes. As a medical professional and also as someone interested in medical history it is a incredible museum. The ethicalness is very debatable, but still, a must see if that interests you!
John Hunter was a thief, like a lot of his contemporaries. Countless specimens on display here were acquired through unethical means - Hunter paid for the stolen body of Charles Byrne the “Irish Giant” and proceeded to dissect it and then exhibit it against the explicit wishes of Byrne, who wanted to be buried at sea. Byrne knew exactly what Hunter wanted to do with his remains, and desperately wanted to avoid it but sadly, his skeleton is still kept here. Please do not take pictures or selfies of his skeleton or better yet, boycott this museum. Let Charles Byrne rest in peace.
Free museum but the amount of cool specimens here would allow them to charge 10 euros. Very cool dissected organisms as well as tools of instruments and other medical-related items
Must visit for a medical student or someone interested in the history of medical sciences
Very interesting visit. Good day out if you're interested in anatomy or like morbid interesting things. Very thought provoking and enlightening
This place is amazing. It's easy to get to and never too busy. Really interesting and loads of samples and they don't dumb it down for you.
One of my favourite museums in London by far. Fantastic displays and great for people who want to see something a little different.
It's definitely an interesting place to visit. The displays with explanation of history, procedures etc. are very good. The jars themselves are fascinating and feel a bit overwhelming in their quantity rather than content. If you can attend a tour as you may gain a better understanding of some of the samples. Allow two hours and I would suggest you start on the second floor right away and work your way down.
