Western Australian Medical Museum

A very interesting museum, the volunteer on today gave me a brief history and even offered to take me around to all the exhibit, but I opted to go with the self guided tour. I was given an informative information sheet as well. Definitely well worth the $5 entry fee.

Experienced, professional, dedicated and driven. Comfortable and friendly environment. Thank you.

Interesting little museum with a wide variety of equipment and artifacts, and good descriptions or labels for those without a medical background. Some of the old treatments and tools are fascinating. A few of the exhibits are looking a bit tired but the place is run by volunteers and it's only $4 entry. Although it's not big allow an hour at least to see everything. Only open on Wednesday and every second Sunday.

The Western Australian Medical Museum is located in Harvey House at King Edward Memorial Hospital on the corner of Barker and Railway roads in the Perth suburb of Subiaco.

Some really impressive equipment and in fantastic condition, staff were incredibly knowledgeable.
