Medical History Museum - Museum in Saint Albans, Australia
Medical History Museum in Saint Albans
Description
I spent quite some time planning to go here. As I need disabled parking, I researched all the information possible for a smooth journey. I drove 2 hours to get there to find the entrance driveways blocked (no entry), as it was their open day. I knew it was their open day but not that entrance points would be shut down or that the nearby roadworks closed off further parking opportunities. I went to the Vic Market, instead. It was disappointing.
MoreVery small, very hard to find, not overly informative. Couple of neat local historical displays.
MoreNot 1 person at the uni knew of it or where it was!! As far as anyone at the uni it doesnt exist not as public one at least. Spent over 1hr find nothing and not a soul on campus knew of it existing
MoreMore of a display in a library than an actual museum. Could see but not access the pharmacy section. Having someone available to let us in to experience that part would have been great. Small and not particularly comprehensive, but I still enjoyed it and worth a visit if this stuff interests you.
MoreGreat place to know about the Australian achievements, it is regularly change this week (11 Sep 2019was about women among with other permanent expositions.If you are a medical student of a medical graduate is a must see and also is inside a nice medical and biological sciences library with a great disposition of books for anyone to read, not only Melbourne university students.
MoreMELBOURNE IS WELL REGARDED FOR ITS CONTRIBUTIONS TO MEDICAL RESEARCH AND THIS MUSEUM IS A PART OF THAT STORYMelbourne University was Victorias first and has a long and proud history or research and discovery in the medical sciences. The museum captures some elements of these discoveries with a particularly Australian flavour
MoreMainly introduce the history of pluck herbs or medicine from nature of aboriginal to cure and some painting display about that. A small room exhibition .
MoreLove this museum, lots of warts and all medical facts exposed to view.
