This was an interesting one for me. We went to the Wellcome collection which houses a little bit of medical museum information. Surprisingly less medical information than what I was hoping for but then again I’m not too interested in it unless it was the “Body Worlds” exhibit (which is wild lemme tell ya). It would be much more interesting for my friend Alex back home who’s a nursing major. He probably would’ve been going crazy over all the things in there.
The teeth section, which was their main exhibit, kinda weirded me out a bit? Like those things are in my mouth and I’m afraid my teeth will end up being how the 18th century peoples teeth did with George Washington’s dentures (which were there by the way). So I kind of scooted along through that part fairly quickly. There were some neato seemingly more art pieces than medical related pieces in the museum such as a hip for a head and head for hips thing that I stared at for quite some time. As well as this looking incredibly happy to have some see-thru skin person that lit up when you pressed some buttons.
We ventured up to the top floor where there was a bit more history involved but randomly placed throughout this library looking room. There was a contraption that looked like the one they used to make Steve Rogers the massive man he is in Captain America (OR IS IT REAL????) and a old fashioned wheelchair that actually looked really comfy.
Overall though I wish it had more stuff like these two things through the museum more than the teeth exhibit, but not every museum is the V&A or the Imperial War Museum am I right?
