"London's premiere surgical museum has been closed for six years...But now it's back, and ten times as slick."

We're thrilled to read Matt Brown's Londonist review of this fascinating and complex museum, which explores the art and science of surgery.

"An anatomical oddity lies on every shelf," says Brown. "It's bewildering. It's overpowering. It's the Hunterian."

"The new-look Hunterian is a thing of beauty, which is quite an achievement for a museum that includes two-headed skulls and malformed foetuses."

"We'd recommend the place for pretty much everyone...The new-look Hunterian is a museum that appeals to the heart and the head, and sundry other organs besides. We want to go back already."
