Small, but packed with devices, artifacts, and materials showing the history of medicine in Mobile. Very impressive!

Absolutely horrifying and amazing. Interesting signs and explanations and all of the terrifying medical items to make you appreciate modern medicine.

Small but very interesting museum on the grounds of the Women's and Children's Hospital. Exhibits are not limited to Mobile or Alabama medical history. Admission fee is reasonable and the museum displays are well labeled. If door is locked, ring the bell cause there is only one guide.

I have lived on the Gulf coast for over 20 years and never knew this places existed! Such a great experience to go and visit a local museum to learn about the medical history! It is a small museum, but full of great historical information! I would recommend to make a stop here and checking it out!

Very interesting to learn the history of medicine in Mobile and in general. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and pleasant.

This is the smallest medical museum I've ever been to. The price of admission is $6 a person, which I think is a little too high considering it's only 3 rooms. There is not a lot of stuff here. The points of interest that I found unique were the models if human body parts showing different skin diseases. They were very realistic. I also liked seeing the iron lung and the machine used during open heart surgeries (though I can not recall what exactly it does). The man who was there had quite a dull voice as he showed us around the museum. Spent less than 20 minutes here and saw the whole place twice.
