The Old Public Hospital Museum was closed on this visit but we have been inside on previous trips. It is a very sobering sight to see how far medicine has come. Often in those days the hospital was no more than a place to die.

Never open. Don't waste your time walking all the way over to see it. It's most likely closed.
