600 years of the Faculty of Medicine

The exhibition brings together artifacts illustrating long and colourful history of the Faculty of Medicine at the Jagiellonian University. A unique review of historic figures, drawings, and photographs will take visitors back to the times when medicine students studied illuminated manuscripts and eminent Polish scholars laid the foundations of modern medicine. The collection also features old textbooks of anatomy, diplomas, first treatises about bubonic fever and pulse, historical medical equipment, personal belongings of Polish medical scholars, and historical learning aids.
