The museum collection contains over 3000 objects relating to the story of anaesthesia. Its collections date from 1774 to the present day and provide a detailed insight into the
history of medicine relating to anaesthesia and anaesthetic equipment as well as pain relief and resuscitation.
Additionally, the museum also contains pull-out drawers for smaller objects and flipbooks giving biographies of the pioneering anaesthetists who made important contributions to anaesthesia as well as details of the larger machines in the collection that are not on display.
