Medical History

The Art Gallery & Museum has adopted Medical History as a new area for collecting since the move to the Royal Pump Rooms in 1999.

This reflects the history of the building as a centre for medical treatments, especially hydrotherapy and physiotherapy, for nearly two centuries. 

A major step forward in this area has been the acquisition of work by Damian Hirst and other contemporary artists as part of the Medicate project carried out with the support of the Wellcome Trust between 1999 and 2005.
