Reviews
"Slightly disappointing. I was expecting a bit more exhibits. The history behind MGH and the story told by Dr. Truman was what made the experience better. The rooftop garden was beautiful with city views."
"For those with an interest in medical history, this is your chance to learn truly interesting facts. Pay attention to hours of operation;)"
"A modest museum showing artifacts and displays connected to the history of medicine and surgery at Mass General Hospital. Free and open to the public, fully handicap accessible."
"Great little museum with a beautiful rooftop terrace, a great view of MGH, clean and handicap accessible facilities. Happened upon the place after a medical appointment and was really impressed. Was a nice breath of fresh air and a breather from the hectic hospital area. Free admission and high informational, glad to have visited and I look forward to visiting again in the future. All gender restrooms and friendly staff make this museum truly a gem!"
"Very interesting history of MGH and it being the first place of practice for medical students out of Harvard. Free admission, informative, and has a beautiful rooftop garden. Definitely worth checking out if around the area :)"
