See a gallery of extraordinary medical objects
If you fancy a wander through the history of medicine, there’s no better guide than the London ‘s new multimedia website.
Launched this week, explores centuries of medical history, with detours through diseases, epidemics and early forms of surgery and encounters with medical pioneers – all with expert commentary from historians and curators.

The interactive stuff is fun, but better still is the chance to see thousands of extraordinary objects from the Wellcome Trust collection held by the museum. Many of these gems are kept tucked away in the museum’s drawers and stores and some have never been on public display. Here we offer some personal favourites to whet your appetite.
