The knowledgeable staff can provide deeper context about the exhibits - take advantage of their expertise to learn more about the medical equipment, historical instruments, and the original hospital building, rather than rushing through the self-guided tour.
Visitor tip
Don't miss the unique 'Hall of Quackery' exhibit featuring historical medical devices and practices - this is frequently mentioned as a standout collection that sets this museum apart from typical medical history venues.

What visitors say
Man, oh man, I love a free Museum. It's small but mighty and very interesting. It's self guided so you can take your time and soak it all in ( which isn't what i did , lol) . They have real human skeletons on display along with some…
Free entry, donations welcome. Self guided tour. It was much bigger than I expected.
Stumbled across this very surprisingly interesting museum, and it’s free to the public. I do love that they have a donation box, as once you visit you’ll be happy to donate! Very cool and would visit again!
