It is full of strange and wonderful collections, one which really grabbed our attention was the Dentistry Exhibition which had an exceedingly macabre collection of grim looking false teeth, some of which hailed from the 18th century.
We saw a terrifying looking dental surgery which would have been where our Victorian forebears would have suffered in agony having their teeth pulled out. We all agreed that it didn't look very inviting.

Our students also saw more of Audubon's bird paintings in one of the rooms and in another gallery room, showing paintings 'Inspired by Light', we were all thrilled to see a stunning Turner depicting a volcano erupting.
Everyone was amazed by this hidden gem of a building, John said, "I think I'd better make a trip to the dentist!"
