Thackray Medical Museum, History of health, disease, treatment and medical discoveries

Thackray Medical Museum - Leeds

"From the horrors of the Victorian operating theatres to the wonders of modern surgery, the Thackray Museums galleries, collection and interactive displays bring to life the history of health and disease, treatment and cures, medical discoveries, equipment and technology."

The museum is named after Chas F Thackray, who had one of the United Kingdoms main medical  companies.

We now live 50 years longer than we did 160 years ago find out why.
