Ospedale del Ceppo, History museum in Pistoia, Italy.
The Museum of the Spedale del Ceppo occupies the historical section of a former hospital complex, featuring medical instruments and architectural elements from different periods.
Founded in 1277 and transformed into a museum in 2017, this institution served as a hospital for over seven centuries until the opening of San Jacopo Hospital.
The external loggia displays a Renaissance frieze in polychrome glazed terracotta by Santi Buglioni, depicting the Seven Works of Mercy through detailed sculptures.
The museum includes multiple sections dedicated to medical history, surgical instruments, and the Filippo Pacini Medical Academy, with guided tours available in several languages.
An eighteenth-century anatomical theater remains intact in the garden, demonstrating the methods used for medical education during that period.
