The Museum of Life Sciences is a compact, quietly fascinating study collection at King's College London. It brings together nineteenth- and twentieth-century teaching specimens: human and animal skeletons, jars of fluid-preserved creatures, careful taxidermy, fossils, and early pharmaceutical tools. You see how doctors and biologists learned before scans and high-speed video-through bones, bell jars, and handwritten labels. Displays emphasise comparative anatomy and the craft of preservation, from wax-sealed jars to glass eyes and stitched seams. It's not open daily and usually requires an appointment, so plan ahead. Ideal for students, makers, and the scientifically curious who prefer detail over spectacle, with plenty to sketch or photograph thoughtfully.
