While eagerly waiting for Jonas’ reports on medical museums in southern France, I’m reading the news about the recently opened exhibition ‘Delicate Operation: the History of Surgery in Tayside’ at the Tayside Medical History Museum in Dundee.
The exhibition traces the history of surgery in the Dundee region,
exploring the careers of some of the region’s most eminent surgeons of the past 200 years, the early development of surgical specialities, changes in theatre design and the history of local instrument manufacturers.
It is on show at the Medical School, Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, until 29 November.
Judged from their website the exhibition concept and design looks pretty traditional — but the artefacts seem to be gorgeous.
