The Old Operating Theatre Museum is one of the most unusual museums in London. The Operating Theatre is the oldest in Europe, and the Herb Garret is a unique chance to explore the Roof space of a Church. The Theatre and Garret have recently been restored with its original Georgian plaster free of support frames for the first time since the late 1990's!Visiting the Museum------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Whats On?...

After the success of Victorian Surgery by Gaslight, we are hoping to schedule another late night opening soon. WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MORE INFORMATION! Victorian Surgery by Gaslight, late night opening, Friday 15th May. Thanks to all who came and supported. Before antiseptic procedures were introduced into surgical practice, a bone fracture might require amputation. Without anaesthesia that amputation would have to be swift. St Thomas' surgeons taught students to give mercy to the patient by removing the limb as quickly as possible.Seize this one off opportunity to visit The Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret after-hours. See the museum's collection housed in the attic space originally used by the Apotheraries and witness a Victorian Surgical demonstration by gaslight on the hour every hour until doors close. The later you come the darker it will be as the theatre has a skylight. The amputation kit awaits, will you survive?! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
