John Hunter – Leicester Square
In 1783 John and his family moved to a new home in the center of London. The property combined two houses: 28 Leicester Square and 13 Castle Street. The front was a fashionable town house, the back Hunter’s work rooms and anatomy school. The displays in this room explore the differences between these spaces, and how Hunter acquired specimens.
