The Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret đánh giá

One of the oldest operating theatres in Europe, this place was built in the 17th century and now stands as a tiny but fascinating museum of surgical and medicinal history. There are often lectures and events held in the building (which sits beside St Thomas' Hospital) - which means there's usually a shout-out for a volunteer to lie on the old operating table block...!

Despite its name, Theatre, the venue is very much like a theatre. In fact, its predecessor is a veritable operating room. In the nineteenth century, it was used as a teaching and observation room for surgery in St. Thomas Hospital. At that time, horror operations such as amputation were performed in the environment of poor medical equipment and no effective anesthesia. Staff will perform in theatres to usher you into that horrible medical age.

The theatre is situated near London Bridge Metro Station, opposite the town market. It's interesting to enter the museum. A spiral staircase with 52 narrow steps is full of exhibits and lace news about Victorian and Edwardian medicine. It used to be an operating room. Now it's a theatre.

Far away from the city, there are not many tourists, relatively quiet and comfortable.

Medical museums are a bit hard to find. On the top floor of a building, we have a better understanding of 19th century medicine and surgery. The museum shows a Victorian demonstration of how to operate without basic hygiene such as anesthesia.
