Located next to St James' Hospital, this award-winning museum offers an insight into the development of medicine and public health over the last 150 years. Sound boring? Far from it, the Thackray is one of the city's major attractions and it's easy to see why. Dramatic and often stomach-churning reconstructions and interactive displays guarantee a fun and educational day out for all the family. The re-enactment of an 11-year-old factory girl's leg amputation is particularly gruesome. Not a place for those of a nervous disposition!
