Now for the museum itself. My husband is going to go to med school, so he really enjoyed looking at all the history. Between blood pressure, obgyn, sanitization, kidney stone removal, and more, this museum covers so many topics of medicinal history. Anyone interested in medicine should stop by here.
About 1 hour length to really enjoy it all. 3 euros per person? If I remember that correctly. Students get it for 2.50 euros (again if I remember correctly). You can take the elevator up as its not on the rez-de-chaussée. Entrance is kind of behind some construction, but easy enough to see and get to.
