Paul S. Russell, MD Museum of Medical History and Innovation

Great little museum with a beautiful rooftop terrace, a great view of MGH, clean and handicap accessible facilities. Happened upon the place after a medical appointment and was really impressed. Was a nice breath of fresh air and a breather from the hectic hospital area. Free admission and high informational, glad to have visited and I look forward to visiting again in the future. All gender restrooms and friendly staff make this museum truly a gem!

Very interesting history of MGH and it being the first place of practice for medical students out of Harvard. Free admission, informative, and has a beautiful rooftop garden. Definitely worth checking out if around the area :

Decent museum of MGH history - worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood, but not otherwise. Doesn't actually have that many historic objects, but it will still be interesting if you're interested in medicine. Rooftop patio on the fourth floor, but isn't high enough to get a good view. Takes an hour to get through everything.

Amazing place! Actually the Dome is located at 4th floor of Massachusetts General Hospital!

This museum threw back memories of cool stuffs like minor surgical instruments with historical background, lights microscopes, medical diagnostics/imaging information about human brain, etc. It also has interactive touch screen computers and not so interactive Electronic Health Record EPIC, and many more.. Those were things I could remember. Overall it's a pretty informative, small yet cozy, centrally located and free museum. Highly recommended.

I was fortunate enough to find this place on Google Maps completely by accident, I knew I had to pay a visit as a medicine enthusiast. It's a pretty small museum, but still, I spent there a ridiculous amount of time. I'm only a medic but the medical language was simple enough for me, yet I'm sure pretty informing and interesting to people more knowledgeable than I. The staff was really kind and helpful, answered questions and taught me interesting things. Would recommend anyone with passion for the medical field from any background and level of knowledge!

Small museum of medical history. Nicely laid out, spacious. I particularly liked the interactive displays that help visitors walk through some diagnostic indicators. I did not finish ran out of time so i did not get to upper floors, but this is a good, informative way to spend a few hours, and helps visitors learn a bit about how medicine, as a field, happens. Not noticeable from traffic. I saw it because i was walking by, but in Boston walking is the only sane choice.

A great trip down surgical memory lane. And it's free! Also definitely go to the ether dome.

Great museum about the MGH, bur missing much info regarding non-US medicine. Most of the exhibit is in the first floor with easy access for everyone, and the second floor is mainly a lecture area and paintings. The roof garden is very nice for a break on your walkabout, since it's halfway from/to the Science Museum and Faneuille hall.

This is a lovely museum and free. But the second floor was being used for a meeting so off-limits. The top floor is a lovely rooftop garden. A must stop for picnic lunch or just a little quite above the city.
