The MuseumLearn more about the exhibitions and the contribution GRI has made to healthcare
The museum, celebrating the contribution that GRI has made to medicine, surgery and nursing throughout the world, was officially opened on May 31st 2022.
This first exhibition highlights the ground breaking work of Joseph Lister, Rebecca Strong, William MacEwen and John MacIntyre as well as a fascinating insight into the history of the buildings of GRI from 1794 to the present day. You can also find a display dedicated to our GRI bees and our garden project.
