British Dental Association Museum, London

British Dental Association Museum also called the BDA Museum, is a specialised museum of the British Dental Association. It has the largest collection of information regarding dentistry in the United Kingdom The British Dental Association Museum was founded in 1919 by Dr Lilian Lindsay, the first female dentist in the United Kingdom. As she was putting away boxes of dental equipment under her bed, Lindsay decided that the items could be exhibited for shared knowledge. This led to the museum being established, and Lindsay herself acted as its first honorary librarian.

The British Dental Association Museum has grown substantially since its early days, and today hold some 30,000 items, the biggest of any dentistry museum in the country. Originally meant for fellow dentists, the museum opened its doors to the general public in 1967, when it moved to its present location at Wimpole Street, in the City of Westminster, London. It underwent a makeover in 2005 to bring its exhibits up to date and make them more accessible to dentists as well as the general public.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
