About Thackray Medical Museum

Featuring a rich exposition that aims to familiarise visitors with the history of modern medicine, the Thackray Medical Museum is housed within the former Leeds Union Workhouse, which later served as a hospital. Guests can see exhibitions such as Disease in Retreat, Leeds 1842 and New Frontiers of Surgery. The museum organises special events, invites schools and groups, and operates as a registered charity. Guests can visit the on-site restaurant and library.
