Museo de Medicina Laboral, Medical heritage museum in Real del Monte, Mexico
The Museo de Medicina Laboral occupies three buildings surrounding an octagonal fountain garden with high ceilings and large windows constructed from brick and stone.
The building started as a mining hospital in 1907 with two twelve-bed wards, serving mine workers and their families through medical treatments and pharmaceutical services.
The museum preserves medical equipment, hospital furniture, and exhibits dedicated to mining safety, showcasing the evolution of occupational medicine in Mexico.
The museum contains multiple specialized sections including hospitalization areas, X-ray facilities, gynecology department, traumatology wing, and orthopedics displays.
Dutch nurse Nelly Zurhaar served as head nurse, living adjacent to the hospital until 1959, with her remains now resting in the English cemetery.
