Edward Jenner Museum, House museum in Berkeley, England.
The Chantry houses exhibits spanning three floors, featuring Edward Jenner's personal objects, scientific instruments, and historical medical drawings related to vaccination research.
Edward Jenner conducted the first documented vaccination against smallpox in 1796 at this residence, using material from cowpox to protect against the deadly disease.
The museum maintains period-accurate rooms, including Jenner's study from 1823, showcasing the living and working environment of an 18th-century medical practitioner.
The museum opens Sunday through Wednesday from 11 AM to 4 PM, with guided tours available through the attic spaces and extensive medicinal gardens.
The Temple of Vaccinia, a rustic garden structure within the grounds, functioned as the first vaccination clinic in medical history.
