I’m glad to have read the history behind this place and then visit. It makes it more worthwhile. At the MGH main entrance ask for directions. Do note you are only allowed to visit if there are no reservations.
It is a secret gem in Boston. This place is historical history. Think of it...the very first operation performed using anesthesia was performed here. It is open every day from 9 am to 8 pm.
Park in the 55 Fruit St. Garage at MGH. Take your ticket with you. Go through the hospital main entrance to the public info desk, confirm hours of the Ether Dome. Take the hall to the left of the info desk, walk past the cafe, down the hall, following signs for the Bulfinch building. Take the elevator to the 4th floor of Bulfinch, and follow the signs to the Ether Dome. It's open every day all year until 8pm, according to the official posted signs on both entrances, with perhaps some holiday exceptions (contrary to the museum website which lists seasonal hours.) There's a restroom several floors below, down the grand staircase. Please note, when you leave, you have to pay for parking with a human before getting into your car.
There are two sets of human remains here:
The mummified person is Padihershef, a middle-class stonemason who worked at a necropolis at Thebes. A Dutch magnate took his remains to Boston in the 1820s.
The second person's remains (unnamed?) are prepared as an upright articulated skeleton.
Very iconic and historic place in the history of modern medicine: the first place where an anesthetic was used during surgery. Very interesting to see the original operating from room preserved as it was during this first surgical procedure with ether.
Anyone interested in the history of medicine would gain a great perspective of what medicine was like back in the nineteenth century.
This is definitely the kind of historical site you feel like you shouldn't be in, it's that well preserved and serene. There's a ton of historical signage posted for information around the back, and there's an additional ton of medical and historical artifacts. I mean, there's a mummy. Just a straight up mummy in plain view with nobody else around. It's an experience!
Place known only from Thorwald's "Century of the Surgeon" is even greater in real life. Certainly worth to be visited.
Haven't been since I was a child, but had fond memories of the space theater. We had a great time, and the exhibits were amazing. There is an exhibit for all ages, and they are quite engaging. Staff is professional and nice, and there is plenty of pa
