The Thackray Museum of Medicine in Leeds is the largest medical museum in the UK and takes guests on a journey through the history of medicine. There are exhibits about medical innovations and instruments, surgery in the 19th century, diseases and cures and the uniforms worn by medical personnel. Monthly lectures are hosted on topics ranging from "Questionable Quackery" to "Bloody Barbers and Splattered Surgeons." This had been a former workhouse and is considered Leeds' most haunted building. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Thackray Medical Museum! The Moment in Oddity features Mark Twain and Nicola Tesla and Constipation and This Month in History features the birth of boxer Jack Johnson.
