Museums Of The Royal College Of Surgeons London Reviews


The Hunterian Museum is wonderful - In 1799 the government purchased the collection of surgeon and anatomist John Hunter and placed it in the care of the Company (later the Royal College) of Surgeons.

Today, The Hunterian Collection contains approximately 3,500 specimens and preparations from John Hunter's original collection. The collection still includes many of Hunter's most famous specimens, including those showing his successful ligation of the femoral artery for popliteal aneurysm and his experiments on collateral circulation. Other specimens demonstrate Hunter's extensive and varied researches on subjects such as bone growth, transplantation and freemartins.

This museum is one of London's best hidden treasures and since a recent refurbishment, it's looking better than ever with a collection of formaldehyde preserved specimens that would leave Burke and Hare slack-jawed in appreciation.

The Hunterian Museum is located inside The Royal College of Surgeons (address as above) and is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm. Admission is free and the museum is open to and suitable for all.
