Glasgow has much more to offer in its museums that that on offer here. If you are on a short visit, do not waste your time and get to the southside attractions and other West End gems.
Really interesting museum. Loads of interesting medical history exhibits. The anatomy museum also situated in Glasgow University is also fantastic if you get in.
I loved it all, again the friendliness of the staff, the amazing artefacts. To walk where famous scientists that I have heard of have walked., and who have made a difference in this world is just mind-blowing.There is so much to see, from pre history to now all relevant to our lives. When I asked if there was a cafe, we were directed to the student refectory. It was quite fun and very cheap to have a bowl of soup and a slice of bread with students and staff alike. We could then go back refreshed to spend longer looking at the collection. Definitely worth a further visit. Wonderful!
Amazing place to take the Kids thank you for all your help and support today we had such a wonderfull day today my hubby and 2 jids though it was great
A superb Collection of Whistler paintings and artefacts makes this gallery worth a visit. The other exhibits tend to be quickly forgotten
An interesting collection with many very unusual exhibits brought to life by excellent guides who are University undergraduates. Their interest,knowledge and enthusiasm made our visit that much more enjoyable . Another magnificant setting in this Gothic building which is a fitting backdrop for such a collection. The proximity of the University and all its facilities is another bonus - good lunch fare at student prices.
Unique collection based on Hunter's private collection. This is now an eccentric collection of curiosities from Egyptian mummies to medical instruments. This time I most enjoyed the collection of Roman artefacts magnificently displayed the the gothic revival surroundings of the University. This is no random collection but a well curated history of local artefacts from the nearby Antonine Wall. Please don't miss the model of the previous building which housed this collection in the nineteenth century. A beautiful classical building based on a temple like form which was a perfect match for this precious collection. So sad it was demolished to make way for the railways. Free entry and a charming way to spend an afternoon in Glasgow's west end.
The museum was very well-organised and the objects exposed are really interesting. It was really enjoyable for my friends and I.
We were fortunate to have been guided to the Hunterian by a member of the University staff after getting a bit lost! He took us the scenic route via interesting parts of the University. We had a rather quick visit as we had lunch booked. However, it was long enough to see that there were some interesting exhibits which were displayed in an attractive and non-cluttered.
It is not just the building, nor the history, nor the exhibits! Originated by a great man to serve mankind! Do not miss especially if you hold an interest in medicine and science!
