Museum of Medicine, Medical museum in central Kyiv, Ukraine.
The Museum of Medicine occupies a historical building complex and displays extensive collections of medical instruments, photographs, books, and anatomical specimens. The rooms guide visitors through different periods and areas of medical history and practice.
The building was originally the Anatomical Theater of Kyiv University, built in 1853 following classical architectural principles. It later became a museum dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of medicine.
