Beautiful small museum with a low entrance fee (around 5€) compared to other museums in the city. Loved the quiet atmosphere. All objects and exhibits are explained in swedish and english. You‘ll learn about the history of hospitals in Gothenburg, individual doctors (both men and women) and scientists, past healthcare methoda (sun hats! Among other things..) and the building in which the museum now resides. Loved it, would wholeheartedly recommend everybody who likes silent museums in ancient surroundings without any frills.

Really nice museum found that there was English translations, however nowadays with apps like google translate it’s not a problem. I found the history of blood transfusions interesting

Interessantes Museum auch für Nicht-Mediziner. Es gibt einen deutschen Audioguide, der über einen QR-Code abgerufen werden kann. Eintrittspreis mit 50 SEK für einen Erwachsenen erschwinglich, für Kinder ist der Eintritt kostenlos.
