MUSÉE DE L’ASSISTANCE PUBLIQUE - HÔPITAUX DE PARIS
Read moreThe main stages of the history of the Parisian hospitals are detailed in this museum found in the Miramion hotel (seventeenth century), beautiful building which was once a hospital for the poor, then the headquarters of the Central Pharmacy. The collections consist of pieces of great variety (paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, furniture, processed, medical instruments ...), the oldest dates back to the Middle Ages. They include the "Livre de Vie active", an illuminated manuscript of the late fifteenth century, and a nice set of pharmaceutical jars made of earthenware. A highlight of the tour is passing through the garden of medicinal plants, which is organized in the medieval manner. One can discover about sixty varieties. Unfortunately, the place just closed. The hotel Miramion was sold and normally no one can occupy the premises. The museum should thus reopen within two years in a new place.
