VIDEO SUMMARY
After being closed for a massive overhaul and reimagining for more than five years, the Hunterian Museum is back open and welcoming guests into its grisly collection. This is often cited as the most disturbing museum in London, for good reason - it is home to thousands of specimens from humans and animals, most of which started out in the private collection of 18th-century surgeon Dr John Hunter.
This London museum tour covers the highlights of the museum, as well as its history and its most famous controversy, surrounding the skeleton of “Irish Giant” Charles Byrne.

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.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Very good point!

[@cattymajiv]

Exactly! Very good point!

[@emilypresleysee]

Yeah, it's just really gross to think that after you die, scientists might find it interesting enough to completely disregard the wishes you had for your remains. How is it not abuse of a corpse?

[@wendymorrison5803]

Hunter was a pioneer of anatomy and surgical innovation. He deserves the recognition and respect of all.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

@@wendymorrison5803 does Byrne not deserve our respect?

Time stamp?

[@SilverFoxForestsDesigns]

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.

[@joetaylor486]

I also saw this when it was on display in Brick Lane. It was fascinating.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

I went in Vancouver decades ago! It was in London until the pandemic.

[@claireingles-sj6xz]

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.

[@driverain2]

@@claireingles-sj6xz It is what it is.

[@empressmarowynn]

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.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

That’s a very altruistic plan! It’s a shame he wouldn’t let you keep your own organ.

[@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order]

People donate their body to science and then it ends up being blown up by the military and bizarre things like that. If I were you I would make sure you read the small print first.

[@empressmarowynn]

@@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order I mean I'd definitely prefer being a medical cadaver for said reasons but if not so long as it's being useful then I don't really care. 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. I also like the idea of a crash test cadaver because picturing my corpse hurtling towards a wall at 60mph is absolutely hilarious to me.

[@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order]

@@empressmarowynn Good for you!! I just thought I would mention it because I heard a story in the news about how someone donated their body to 'science' and the family were shocked to find out what really happened in the end! 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!

[@cursedcancersurvivor]

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.

[@jonnavdpas]

Wishing Jennifer all the best and many more years to come of getting to look at her own heart in a jar. Thanks for the beautiful tour.

I enjoyed this so much, it was interesting and fascinating. In PA in USA , there is a Mutters museum, it's not quite as great as London's but still interesting. It's a museum dedicated to the oddities of man. It was originally a doctors collection and grew and grew and many years ago was put on display for the up and coming doctors. I love museums so much and you make it even better with all your information. Thank you.

The history of medicine and medical care has always fancinated me, so much so that I held several jobs in the industry. First, I became a paramedic, then an STNA(State tested nurse's aide/assisstant) then a nurse (RN BSN). This is quite fun to watch, showing the history, the anatomical guides, the equipment used. Thank you for this.

[@LauPineda]

You’re very welcome! It’s a vast city, that’s for sure. Next time!

[@lordbarristertimsh8050]

I've always found stuff like this fascinating { my Mom being a nurse might have had something to do with that } , so I really liked this video. 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.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Very true! Thank you for watching.

[@vectorwolf]

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.

My son and I went to the Huntarian museum on the 2nd of march this year!! We both thoroughly enjoyed it! It's fascinating!! We would definitely go back for another visit. A great place to go and look around. ❤

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!

Was John a doctor? I understand that his contribution to surgery was particularly useful in spite of not having formal training. I believe he was the person who promulgated the idea that if this person is going to die anyway, let's try the treatment/operation, it may work and a lot did. His brother was a doctor, but note on his statue he is called plain John Hunter.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

You know what, you’re kind of right! I probably shouldn’t have called him Dr, when he would have gone by Mr as a surgeon. He did train at his brother’s surgical school and Bart’s Hospital, and attended the University of Glasgow, though, and also studied medicine at Edinburgh.
