    Personally, I feel, that if they want to keep the 'entire' Hunterian collection together, they should display John Hunter's remains- especially if they refuse to release Charles Byrne's remains. It's only fair, after all.

    having been to the Body Worlds exhibit, i went it with an open mind and came out with more respect for humans, the cadavers on show were amazing, the experience of seeing them gave me a roller coaster of emotions of which respect for the people who gave their bodies was top. Yes seeing some of the bodies made you gasp but when you really looked and understood what you were seeing it made you understand far more and as i say respect them more.

      Sorry to disappoint, but most of the bodies in the Huntarian collection weren't given. They were taken from their graves by the likes of Burke and Hare (who committed murder as often as dug up graves for fresh bodies) or were unclaimed bodies from prisons and poor houses.

    Visiting museums like this really helped cement my decision to donate my body to science after I die. I figured that since I've had so many weird medical issues throughout my life I might as well make my carcass useful for once and let people explore it to try and figure some things out that might help others. And if they end up discovering something really strange or rare inside me and want to display it then cool! It would just be a shame that I couldn't be around to see it. When I had a hysterectomy I really really wanted to keep my bits in a jar just so I could look at them but the doctor said no, it was the closest I could have come to seeing myself on display like this.

I obviously won't be needing it anymore and I'd rather it benefit other people than just rotting in the ground or turned into dust.

Also I went to the Body Worlds exhibition years ago (Gunther Von Hagen, plastination of bodies) and it made me wonder if the donors had any idea they would end up there and how they would feel about it, once you sign over your body you never know where it might end up!

      You're most likely to be used as a crash test dummy. Yes, they use cadavers for that. Or cut to bits and used for medical experiments. The chance of being used as a display is very slim.

It's also important to remember, it may be off-putting to some: but if doctors and academics and natural philosophers didn't preserve, collect, and study specimens like this, we wouldn't have a lot of the knowledge of physiology and medicine that we do today.

    This reminded me about the account of John and Abigail Adams' only daughter who as a young woman was diagnosed with breast cancer. In the early 19th century the only treatment was a mastectomy. She was operated on in her own bedroom, without anesthetic or sterile conditions undergoing not only breast removal but cauterization. Amazingly she survived and lived a few more years before the cancer returned and caused her death.

    Kind of reminds me of the Mutter...
    What people don't think about is that collections like this were the only way to learn medicine in an era before the internet.... or even photography. They're a critical component of the history of medicine and absolutely should be preserved.
    Secondly, in this day and age, we're too isolated from death. The only time we might experience contact with it is in unexpected and horrific circumstances, rather than having a more thoughtful opportunity to reflect on the natural processes of life and death. This creates an association between death and fear, rather than it being an inherent and inextricable component of human existence. We need places like this more than ever, I think.

    Absolutely fascinating exhibit, I could spend days examining them all. I find the amount of dental/teeth interesting. When I first stated my higher education, I was shocked to find out (once sugar was introduced to the Europeans) the amount of deaths caused by dental infections/abscess progressing to septicemia. As far as being grossed out by these exhibits, that ended for me on my first day of University. My very first class was biology and as I was observing the preserved specimens I discovered a large Lamprey in formaldehyde. The large sucker mouth and rows of razor sharp “V” shaped teeth made me jump back in horror. I was young, had no idea such parasites existed and I thought I was looking at some sort of alien creature from another planet. After that, nothing bothered me again!
    Great museum, what a shame so many specimens were lost from that WW II incendiary bomb in ‘41!

    When I visited the Hunterian in 2016, out of all the unsettling sights, for some reason the only ones that actually made me queasy were the jaw bone dissections... It's nice to see the changes that have been introduced there since then-- thanks for this thorough tour! It definitely makes me want to visit again!

    The Hunterian reminds me of the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia. Visiting the Mutter is on my bucket list.

    Did not find the video creepy at all, but quite educational. The elephantiasis foot, scoliosis spine, Jennifer's heart were really interesting! Also liked seeing the hydrocephalic skull since I worked with individuals suffering with these exceptionally large heads. Wax models were excellent - want to see more! Thx.

      Surgeons had to be both strong and accurate. They had to amputate in less than two minutes or the patient would die of shock.

    There was an exhibit that arrived in my city a little over a decade ago that was all about human anatomy and physiology and it was both bizarre and amazing. Whenever I get the chance to cross over the pond, this museum will definitely be near the top of my list of places to visit in the U.K.

    Very interesting. Not overly disturbing, am sure there are more graphic pieces you did not show us. The care Dr. Hunter portrayed was fascinating. Am guessing the wax model maker had real cadavers he used
