Learn more about Burke and Hare, 2 famous grave robbers who made a fortune selling fresh corpses to doctors at the University Medical School to use in their anatomy classes in the 1800s. There are some gruesome artworks showing early tooth extraction methods too.
Edinburgh has a strong tradition of invention and medical education. This museum tells that story and offers some grisly evidence of what healthcare was like before we had great drugs and the NHS.
The museum is home to one of the largest and most historic pathology collections in the world. If you are interested in Medicine, this is the famous museum you dont want to miss!
If you are interested in how Medicine evolved over time this will be a great place to visit.
You’ll need a strong stomach and a morbid sense of humour to enjoy the fascinating Surgeons' Hall Museums.

The unnervingly extensive collections include pathology and histories of surgery and dentistry.
