Had a grand day out at the Thackray Medical Museum in Leeds today.
Lots of very interesting (and gruesome) old medical gear <---- some of it quite literally !!!!

Thackray Medical Museum

If and when you get bored ..... there's a lovely (and a bit creepy) old graveyard directly opposite Grin

Despite it being local I still haven't visited it. I blame my squeamish son who refuses to go; and the idea of visiting museums without one's offspring just seems somehow...wrong.

I don't have that problem since my 11 y.o son will happily spend all day at a technical museum with me, while the womenfolk (Gawd bless 'em) get bored in an hour. Still, a mate has this solution: borrow a child for the immoral purpose of attending said museum (ask parent's permission first). Suggest an instructive and educational visit to an institution devoted to raising the standards of the Lower Orders. Then take them to the museum (and in your case) drool over the gruesome antique medical instruments, two headed foetuses in jars, etc.

We went there a few weeks ago- my 3 coglings loved the public health 19th century street, especially the gore.
We're very lucky- all 3 think a family day out is going to any sort of museum/stealy home and preferably involves steam or water power. Cogling 2 is rather splendid in his attire & may well join the ranks in time I hope Smiley

I love this place. Back in the 90's I used to work in in the building!
