Anaesthesia Heritage Centre

A donation by A Charles King, the Anaesthesia Heritage Centre may be one of the oddest museums in the metro. Housing at least 2,000 objects relating or related to the history of Anaesthesia, the Centre is humble in its stance, but truly breathtaking on the inside.

The collections started from the late 1774 to the present day. Find curious, amazing needles, anaesthetic chairs and know the people who changed the face of anaesthesiology. See also pain relief equipment and the early versions of resuscitation tools.
