The museum was the inspiration of Paul Thackray, grandson of Charles F. Thackray, founder of the medical company bearing his name in Leeds in 1902. Paul Thackray established a small historical collection relating to the medical supply industry within the firm, and then following the sale of the company, and with the aid of a £3 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the museum was established in a former workhouse building adjacent to St. James's Hospital. |

The museum collection contains items relating to most aspects of the history of medicine and health care. There are particularly strong collections of surgical instruments, material relating to medical supply trade, 17th and 18th century pharmacy jars and hearing aids.
Collection items relating to the history of artificial organs include:
- Modified Kolff artificial kidney machine, 1956;
- Numerous hearing aids
