LEARNING WITH WORCESTER’S MEDICAL MUSEUMS

History of Medicine | Medicine Through Time | Shaping the Nation |

UPDATED january 2024

Thank you for your interest in visiting Worcester’s medical museums for a tour, talk or workshop for your group or class. Both George Marshall Medical Museum and The Infirmary Museum provide programmes for school visits, and we are currently looking at our learning programmes and schools offer in order to ensure every student has the best possible visit.

In the meantime, if you would like to visit for an old favourite, like Victorian Surgery, Purge the Plague or Superheroes of Medicine, then please get in touch. These can be offered with tours of both museums, to include our death masks, reconstructed apothecary shop and surgery display, the boardroom where the British Medical Association was founded and the infirmary’s chapel!

ONLINE LEARNING…

The George Marshall Medical Museum has also received funding from West Midlands Museum Development via Art Fund to develop a pilot of online resources about the history and developments of - and problems with - surgery, anaesthetics and antiseptics, and some of the star objects in our collection which your class would usually get to discover on a visit.

Get enough information, enquiry and resources to fill a 50-minute class including:

• A short animation

• Three 3D objects to play with and learn about

• Short films about the ‘key players’ in the developments in safe surgery, like Sir Robert Liston.
