Hunterian Museum

An absolute gem of a museum . Hidden away is an impressive little display of specimens of both humans and animals alike.Will make for interesting sketches and is educational too!

Brilliant museum for testing your limits. If the jars full of dissected animals and body parts don't faze you, make sure to check out the selection of close-up surgery videos on the 2nd floor.

Freakin' awesome museum . Very interesting, especially pathological processes through each organ and different animals. Nice history on surgery and surgeons of Britain.

the actual brain of charles babbage , partially dissected animals , fetuses and other freaky things in jars. fun for the whole family!

Basically, it is SO gross, but SO cool. I couldn't stop exploring. I would love to go back and bring my sketch book next time. Very interesting.

Been meaning to go here for along time. Very interesting, but not for every one. You should have an idea of what to expect before going, or run screaming from the specimen jars!

Rather quiet and peaceful (as far as you can call a place full of skeletons and pickled guts "peaceful "). A true gem for the curious ones.

Love it here!! A real eye opener of how medical procedures have advanced over the years and how amazing the origins of them are. Makes you really appreciate the fantastic work of Surgeons.

The skeleton of a giant, Winston Churchill’s dentures and diseased human remains in jars are among the bizarre exhibits at the Hunterian Museum, which is certainly one of London’s strangest. Read more

No photography allowed. Unlike some of the more well-known museums , you get to wander around and scrutinize the exhibits in peace and quiet .

Nearly Halloween , perfect time to visit this fascinating, slightly macabre , beautifully presented collection!

Something for the curious of mind and strong of stomach! All sorts of weird, wonderful and grotesque things here, and you'll learn so much about science and medicine.

Gory, kind of spooky place where you can look at penises in glass jars. Definitely worth a look!

Recommended: Not for the faint hearted, this two-floor museum offers both a brilliantly intellectual and educational experience - with everything from bones to pickled guts. Yum yum! Read more

Absolutely fascinating. Gruesome and interesting collection of jars, models and videos. You've got to go

Absolutely fascinating and full of wonders. Well worth a visit.

This is so fascinating! Loved the surgery section as well

Wow....just wow! Was an amazing place to visit, some interesting specimens ! ^_^

An incredible set of specimens , great for curious people.

A fantastic museum for everyone who loves guts :P

Lots of pickled dissected things and surgical instruments ; not for the faint-hearted but fantastic for fans of the macabre and unusual!

Do you like anatomy??? Do you like to draw??? Do you like baby frogs???

Next time someone complain to me about his life I will say: anaesthesia, man, we have anaesthesia.

Wandering among this collection of thousands of medical specimens and cases of surgical instruments is fascinating. Read more

Striking experience! The acceptance desk is annoying but anyway, ignore them

It's free, but make a donation

After your visit, be sure to pick up a copy of The Knife Man, a tremendous biography about the museum 's creator John Hunter.

Weird & wonderful collection of bodies & body parts .

One of those hidden treasures of London.

Creepy, especially towards the exit.

So interesting!! Beautiful specimens

One more museum visited for research & drawing)

Worth the trip just for Churchill's dentures and the videos of surgical procedures.

That's a lotta dead babies.

Charles Babbage 's brain in a jar! Well , half of it.

Since when has this place been so crowded ? We used to be the only visitors.

Only for the brave ones. Scarier than London dungeon.

Medical curiosities galore.
