Museum of Hygiene, Medical science museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Museum of Hygiene occupies the Shuvalov Palace and contains extensive displays of anatomical models, including glass figures showing internal organs and medical preparations.
The museum opened in 1919 following a Soviet public health initiative, evolving from an earlier concept presented at the 1877 Brussels congress on hygiene matters.
The museum fulfills an educational mission by presenting detailed information about human anatomy, disease prevention, and public health through various exhibits and presentations.
Located at 25 Italyanskaya Street near Gostiny Dvor metro station, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Saturday between 11:00 AM and 7:30 PM.
The collection includes the preserved research dog from Ivan Pavlov's conditioning experiments, displayed in a glass case among the scientific exhibits.
