Museum from home : a brief history of the stethoscope

 

While our team work from home they want to share some interesting objects, books and stories from our library, museum and archives with you.

Our second #MuseumFromHome video is by senior curator Lowri Jones with a brief history of the stethoscope.

You can explore our collections and exhibitions from the comfort of your own home in a variety of ways. Our current exhibition is now online, we are running an exciting series of digital events throughout 2021, and you can explore our collections online via our museum and archive and library catalogues.

Mission Statement

The history of medicine is the history of life and death, and we are all connected to it. Founded in 1518 by King Henry VIII, the Royal College of Physicians has spent over five centuries changing medicine and working for patients and doctors. It is our mission to engage, inspire and entertain people with the history of medicine and the importance of physicians within it.
