The Wellcome Collection in London exhibits a small part of the collection of Henry Wellcome. Everything has a connection with the human body whether in sickness or in health including a man preserved in a bog, early prosthetic limbs, a collection of glass eyes and edwardian head gear designed to discourage a young child's ears from sticking out!

A visit is well worth while but take a look at their website:
