Skin Exhibition

Physicians' Gallery

A free museum exploring the science and humanity of medicine

We work with other institutions, historians, physicians and scientists to develop exhibitions to make the past, present and future of medicine accessible to everyone.

All of our exhibitions are directly funded by the donations we receive. If you would like to support our work you can donate here.

Our temporary exhibition programme covers topics from mental health to alchemy, animals, addiction and the history of skin.
