The UQ Marks-Hirschfeld Museum houses one of the finest collections of medical memorabilia and medical and surgical instruments in Australia. It includes instruments and equipment such as nineteenth century carbolic spray (used for antisepsis during surgery) and a copy of the apparatus Wilhelm Roentgen used to discover X-rays in 1895. The museum serves scholars and researchers as well as visitors and forms a focus on the medical past which brings a better perspective to the present.
