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.
