MEDICAL MUSEION

A must see museum for all who are curious about the human body and mind, disease and health.

Medical Museion is a museum of medical history and culture located in the historical Royal Academy of Surgeons (from 1787). Here medical students once attended lectures and demonstrations in the magnificent Neoclassical auditorium. Today the exhibitions take you on a journey through the world of medicine from historical understandings of the body to current challenges in public health.

Medical Museion is for everybody who is curious about how the human body and mind have been understood and treated – from Antiquity to the age of the gene.
