London's Lost Museums: Nature and Medicine on Show

From Sir Hans Sloane's cabinet to William Bullock's Egyptian Hall, this exhibition examines the contents, purpose and fate of London's early anatomical and natural history collections. It also tells the story of the devastating bomb damage inflicted upon the Hunterian during WWII. The show reveals the ways in which the remains of collections that were forgotten, dispersed or even razed to the ground have found their way into today's museums. Exhibits include a mummy's foot, exotic specimens and rare catalogues alongside images of grand museums that are no more.
