Musée Flaubert, Medical history museum in Rouen, France.
The Musée Flaubert occupies a former hospital building, displaying medical instruments, pharmaceutical items, and personal belongings of the French novelist Gustave Flaubert.
The museum opened in 1945 at the Hôtel-Dieu hospital complex, where French writer Gustave Flaubert was born in 1821 while his father served as chief surgeon.
The museum exhibits include an 18th-century delivery mannequin, a six-patient hospital bed, and medical artifacts that document the evolution of healthcare practices.
