From ancient human skulls to bone-saws and bloodletting knives, get an intimate look at one of the most celebrated collections in medicine.

Step into the dark and fascinating world of medicine’s past with Morbid Curiosities, our most unsettling—and unforgettable—guided tour. Journey through centuries of surgical history, where myth met science, and healing often walked hand-in-hand with horror.

From ancient human skulls to bone-saws and bloodletting knives, the International Museum of Surgical Science has one of the most celebrated collections of its kind in the world. On this special after-hours tour, Museum staff will shine a light on some of the darkest tools in the history of medicine! This tour is complemented by highlights from the Museum’s chilling surgical art collection.

A complimentary reception follows the tour and lite fare will be served

These are hour-long walking tours and guests will be asked to summit 4 flights of stairs. For accessible tour accomodations, please contact info@imss.org
