About
Thackray Museum of Medicine is the UK’s largest independent medical museum. Immerse yourself in our imaginative and exciting galleries, from the history of healthcare to the advances that have shaped the way we look after ourselves, and each other. Wander through the grimy streets of Victorian Leeds, watch gruesome operations taking place in our 19th-century operating theatre, and discover the medical innovations that changed the world. Our work with our local East Leeds community has led to the museum being awarded a special commendation at the 2023 European Museum of the Year Awards – the only UK organisation to be nominated – and being an ArtFund Museum of the Year finalist.
