Tri-Dent Dental Station c.1920

This invention changed dental practices forever, providing dentists with all the tools they needed for their treatments, air and gas, high speed drills, electric light and a fountain spittoon. 

Connecting Science, Medicine, Life and Art. 

Almost opposite Euston Railway station is yet another fascinating musuem, showcasing everything you wanted to know about medicines, science and human anatomy. 

The exhibits on show were certainly nothing like anything you'd expect to see at any other museum. 

On display were artworks of the human body including paintings in oil, scultpures in glass of various viruses and many other mediums including this one piece made in 1980 using plastic and wire. 

Entry if free and like other museums, they have a fabulous shop on the ground level.
