Medical History At The Siriraj Bimuksthan Museum

There's a nice, new museum on the campus of Siriraj hospital. The museum displays a variety of medical and hospital historical artifacts and scenes. Find out about drugs, bodies, treatments. Insurance not accepted.

Let's start by opening it all up. An old anatomy model, still needing aid.

Local history, opium history. A recreation of a processing lab and a few fresh poppies, waiting their turn.

Back to anatomy class, skeletons ready to scare the students.

White rat, giving it up for science. Visiting the doctor and getting freaked out by the graphic smallpox display.

The recreation of a traditional pharmacy, complete with extensive local herbal medicines.

Mixing up that medicine, apologies to Bob Dylan. A wet nurse with new baby and tired mom.

Old artificial limb, made from a can, wood and scrap metal. Inventive.
