Reviews of Paul S. Russell, MD Museum of Medical History and Innovation at Massachusetts General Hospital (Museum)

Allan Wang

A charming public museum about MGH and medical history. Fascinating for both medically inclined and history buffs. Well laid out with nice displays, the science is, of course, simplified for the general public, but with enough substance to satisfy those with a technical or medical background. A very nice PR and neighborly effort by this venerable institution, and an easy walk from the MGH T station. Don't miss the healing garden at the top of the Yawkey building.

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!

Great museum with a very personal introduction, beautiful roof terrace. Interactive and top modern inventory. Must see for every healthcare professional.

Dana Greenwood

Very interesting but it should be open on weekends also. If I wasn't visiting someone in MGH I wouldn't be able to get there.

Good museum to visit if you have free time. It is not so big, however you learn a lot of stuff about mgh's history, medicine history and diseases. There is also a little garden at the 4th floor. It is free to visit the museum during the weekdays from 9 am -5 pm. But it is closed at the weekend. There are also interactive computers that you can diagnose a patient or find out more about medicine stuff. You should go if you are nearby. Vaktiniz varsa gezmek için iyi bir müze. Çok büyük değil ama mgh'in tarihi, tıp tarihi ve hastalıklar hakkında bayağı bir şey öğreniyorsunuz. 4. katta küçük bir bahçesi var. Hafta içi 9 - 5 arası açık ama haftasonu kapalı. Video izlemek ya da hasta teşhisi yapmak için interaktif bilgisayarlar var. Civardaysanız uğrayabilirsiniz.

I had an appointment at Mass Eye and Ear and got there early and was looking for something to kill time. I found this place. It is free and a good place too kill time. I would come back again .

Joyce Jenkins

Arts and Crafts was fun.

Rob Bajko

Cool stuff

Carlos Medina

Great museum about the MGH, bur missing much info regarding non-US medicine. Most of the exhibit is in the first floor with easy access for everyone, and the second floor is mainly a lecture area and paintings. The roof garden is very nice for a break on your walkabout, since it's halfway from/to the Science Museum and Faneuille hall.

Karen Vaughn

Great museum. Lots of great artifacts. A wonderful oasis from the busy of the day

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 :)

A great place for a visit while you're at the General.

Ahmed Mahmoud

Fascinating look into the history of medical innovation - a lot of which took place here at MGH

Todd Hammond

Hidden gem? Its sitting right there, waiting for you to visit - lots of neat things to see from Mass General's history. And the top floor has a beautiful garden. Go!

Ayman Ali

It's a well done but really small museum, won't take you longer than an hour to explore it all. It's worth stopping by especially if you work at MGH.

Juan C. Sanchez Arias

A visit to this museum plus a walking around the Ether Dome are a must for any doctor regardless age, country of origin or specialty. Small, yes, but its content is invaluable and even touching for us who love our noble profession.

Memet Emin

It is a nice place to learn brief history of MGH.

henry chang

Not so good

nawaz basha

Informative

Kit Ligand

Small museum of medical history. Nicely laid out, spacious. I particularly liked the interactive displays that help visitors walk through some diagnostic indicators. I did not finish (ran out of time) so i did not get to upper floors, but this is a good, informative way to spend a few hours, and helps visitors learn a bit about how medicine, as a field, happens. Not noticeable from traffic. I saw it because i was walking by, but in Boston walking is the only sane choice.

Theresa Ferreira

Fascinating! Even this wholistic child found the history and information interesting and well worth the time.

Coli Cole-French

This is a lovely museum and free. But the second floor was being used for a meeting so off-limits. The top floor is a lovely rooftop garden. A must stop for picnic lunch or just a little quite above the city.

Pat McCaughey

Small area but interesting use of media. Interactive to be informative and keep you interested.

Bill Callahan

They really need to have better curation and content. The best you can say is, "You get what you pay for." It is free, by the way.

Mike Shahp

Surprisingly interesting exhibits in this museum

Matthew Pagos

Small museum of MGH history

Faisal Chaudhry

Decent museum of MGH history - worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood, but not otherwise. Doesn't actually have that many historic objects, but it will still be interesting if you're interested in medicine. Rooftop patio on the fourth floor, but isn't high enough to get a good view. Takes an hour to get through everything.

Joshua Janvrin

Very interesting place ..and its free

Tim Cunningham

Went in on a whim as walking by... A gem of a little free display, some great little pieces. Would recommend

Tanya M

Free, fun check out the rooftop as well

Rafael Nuzzi

Small but full of very interesting medical histories and items

Tim Turley

This place is great!!!

Eetu Pajala

A small museum of Medical history and innovation (made in Boston). Good for a half an hour walk through even if you're not super interested in medicine. Nice rooftop garden to sit down and rest your legs.

Matthew Li

Fun place to visit if you want to learn more about medical history, particularly Mass Gen's contributions. Free admission as well.

James Doyle

Relatively small, but excellent, museum which chronicles technological innovation in medical treatments. Situated in the newest addition to the Massachusetts General Hospital campus, and complete with a rooftop garden, highlights of the museum include several MGH "firsts." Free to the public and a must for anyone with an interest in medicine and the larger history of science. Parking is challenging in the MGH area, but this museum is served by the MBTA "red line" Charles / MGH subway station.

Jim Stanford

Mankind's Greatest Hospital

Joshua Brunton

Kelly Petit

An oasis in a busy Boston! Very educational and informative. Lovely rooftop garden.

A great trip down surgical memory lane. And it's free! Also definitely go to the ether dome.

Daniel Scanlan

A respite in a busy neighborhood. Fantastic history of Mass General Hospital and their great work. Well worth your time.

(Translated by Google) Being in Boston and not going to the Massachusetts General Hospital museum. There, the first anesthesia and the investigations were carried out in functional resonance, cardiac transplant surgery, DNA research and the latest in cancer treatment for immunity. It is incredible contribution to humanity. (Original) Estar en Boston y no ir al museo de Hospital General Massachussets . Alli se realizó la primera anestesia y las investigaciones en resonancia funcional, cirugía de transplante cardiaco , investigacion del ADN y lo ultimo en tratamiento cancer por inmunidad. Es increible tanto aporte a la humanidad.

I was fortunate enough to find this place on Google Maps completely by accident, I knew I had to pay a visit as a medicine enthusiast. It's a pretty small museum, but still, I spent there a ridiculous amount of time. I'm only a medic but the medical language was simple enough for me, yet I'm sure pretty informing and interesting to people more knowledgeable than I. The staff was really kind and helpful, answered questions and taught me interesting things. Would recommend anyone with passion for the medical field from any background and level of knowledge!

Jonathan Pelikan

Quite underwhelming but at least the view was good from the roof.

Daniel Queiroz

Amazing place! Actually the Dome is located at 4th floor of Massachusetts General Hospital!

Bethany Haeseler

Great experience, helpful staff

Schleifer Grigorij
