Gallery Review
The theme of the show was Medical History and Surgical Research, which has attended by numerous medical students and has also had conferences held within it.
The main pieces of work that were featured in this exhibition were that of Hunter, who was a leading physician in his time.
I went to this particular exhibition because I felt that it linked well with what I'm doing in my project, but overall there was unique content and a very good comparison to make between this museum and The Wellcome Collection.
There were many exhibitions, but they were all of mainly the same thing, internal body parts that had been preserves in formaldehyde. There were also bones of the animal heads that had been well preserved as well as they had very few dents or cracks in them.
When I first walked in I was quite amazed at how well kept everything had been and I found it all quite fascinating and really interesting as this isn't necessarily something you see everyday.
Overall there were some quite disgusting artifacts but the wax models of the heads were really good.
A lasting impression that it has made was that even though I have no medical knowledge it opened my eyes to the important part of human life.
