The Thackray Museum is one of the UK's leading museums and is a fantastic day out, transporting you into a living experience of health and medicine, past, present and future.

Take a walk down a back street of Victorian Leeds, and see hear and smell what life would have been like. Follow the life of a Victorian character in "Living Health" where you can explore the lives, ailments and treatments of eight Victorian characters - you make the choices that determine their survival, amongst the rats, fleas and bedbugs!

Understand how medicine has developed into modern practices - who made these discoveries and what inspired them? See the extensive collection of medical equipment including tools, replacement body parts, aids and the world's largest collection of English Apothecary Jars.

You can step inside the human body to find out how your body works at the Life Zone! When you find out how amazing your body is, you'll want to keep it that way!
