Explore the remarkable collection of items at the Hunterian Museum, named after the 18th century surgeon and anatomist, John Hunter.

Hunter’s anatomy and pathology collections are at the heart of the museum’s display, which includes human and non-human anatomical and pathological speciments, instruments, equipment, models, paintings and sculptures.

Look out for the scientific and surgical instruments belonging to Joseph Lister, a pioneer of antiseptic surgery, and four anatomical tables made for the diarist John Evelyn in 1646.
