HK Museum of Medical Sciences

The bubonic plague (腺鼠疫) occurred in 1894. Two pathologists came from Japan and Switzerland discovered and isolated the bacteria. Old Pathological Institute commemorates their achievement. This heritage is now the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences. The museum is an Edwardian (愛德華時代) building with brickwork and arched verandahs (陽台). It has exhibitions on local medical history including SARS. There is a herb garden outside the museum displaying some basic ingredients of both Western and Chinese medicine.
