George Marshall Medical Museum

George Marshall Medical Museum Entry is free The Museum is home to a fascinating collection of artefacts which show the way medicine and healthcare have developed over the past 250 years.

There is plenty to see, including our collection of death masks, a reconstructed apothecary's shop and a 19th-century operating theatre. We also hold a fascinating collection of medical books, photographs and oral histories. Admission to the Museum is free. We are open Monday to Friday 9am until 5pm except for Bank Holidays. Find us in the Charles Hastings Education Centre on the Worcestershire Ro

yal Hospital site. Please contact us to discuss your requirements: (01905 760 738). Fake blood. Mannequins. Life and death. Discussions of a gory nature.

We've zhuzhed (?) up our permanent mental health display in the museum after dismantling our ACE funded Outside the Asylum exhibition. Enjoy on your next visit!

We will be installing our new exhibition soon. Watch this space for dates of the display and an evening of talks.

Thanks to the amazing garden volunteer team the new wellbeing garden is thriving and as we come out of the very dry weather we're looking for more hands to help us make it a brilliant space for everyone. So far our activities have been limited to a bit of weeding and watering (watering, watering!), but we're looking forward to getting stuck in. Email to join us!

Volunteers needed!

Location checking and adding essential info' to our database today with collections volunteers :). We found that these boxed apothecary scales and glass measures were actually part of Mr. George Marshall's original collection, so have been renumbered for him. The apothecary scales were given to George Marshall by Surgeon Mr. Paul Houghton.

We've added a new page about Shrub Hill Infirmary on our research pages. For a short time in the building's history it was a place where many of our 'Birthing Stories' mothers gave birth and lay in for a fortnight. Found out more:

AKA ‘The House of Industry’, ‘Tallow House’, ‘The Union’ (vulgarly “The Grubber”), ‘Shrub Hill Infirmary’ and ‘Hillborough’

Thank you to everyone who came to chat to us today at The Hive. Lots of mothers with young children having so much fun with Wacky Wednesday activities, who still stopped to share their birth stories. You're all wonderful. And of course, the babies were a hit (there was a full 30 mins where we thought we'd lost them).

Forgive the old banner...the new one broke!
