Musée de l'Histoire de la Médecine

The museum's historical collections, among the oldest in Europe, are presented in a magnificent hall built between 1905 and 1907. This room, which bears witness to medical history, is located in an extension to the original building designed by architect Ginain for the "Collège de Chirurgie". Closed during the French Revolution, the building reopened in 1795 before the museum was created in 1955. The museum features portraits of 18th-century physicians, antique surgical instruments and a varied collection.
