There were so many lovely and intriguing objects in Henry's collection (and I was so happy you're allowed to take pictures), I thought he deserved a second entry.
These are some examples of his collection of medical glassware
He also had a number of paintings including this portrait of Leicester's most famous fat man, Daniel Lambert. His house in Leicester is fantastic and a favourite school trip destination for my sister's and I and (independently) Stephen too
Nothing prepared me for coming across this. A very rare etching by Van Gogh, of Dr Gachet, the physician who cared for Vincent during his final days
A cabinet of prosthetic limbs
A Peruvian mummified corpse
