    Anyone ever visited? I did years ago when i was at uni, but haven't been recently. Was having a discussion this morning about it and the pickled boaby scene from Chewin' The Fat, or one of those programmes, came up.

    Can't recall seeing it when I was there <laugh>

    My eldest daughter went with her primary school a few years ago.

    First thing she mentioned was the pickled boaby <laugh>

    I was there with a group of school kids if I remember right, some kind of display was on, I remember the kids could dress up.

    Didn't see the pickled boaby but :(

    Guess where I'm going during the October week? <laugh>

    I dunno - something properly macabre about them, though.

    The Hunterian has a weird smell because of all the formaldehyde and the likes - the mutations bit is downright spooky.

    But it's not all medical freakshows - they have Rembrandts and Whistlers and stuff in the Art Gallery bit.

    But everyone seems to go for the pickled boabies and hands of lepers.
