My son had read The Elephant Man as a school assignment, so we figured that it would be useful for him to put the face to the name, so to speak. It wasn't difficult to find, just a 5-minute walk from Whitechapel station, on a small street in the middle of the buildings making up the Royal Hospital campus. The museum was pretty small, and contained the things you'd expect in a medical museum, including photos, history, old or historial medical books and equipment. Pride of place goes to the exhibits pertaining to Joseph Merrick, the hospital's most famous patient. A replica of his deformed skeleton and the cap he wore to hide his face were on display. The best part - there's no entrance fee.

Excellent museum about John merrick the elephant man and he had a disability of the face and body i think that's his name 😀
