  The only reason for me to give just a star out of five is that there is not any information on any site where it says that it is closed because of renovation until 2021.

  The museum was good and presented an interesting history. However I read there that Jan Mikulicz-Radecki, the great Polish surgeon of the 19th century, was a German one... this is not true, he was Polish at the times where German Empire (with Russia and Austrian Empire) took Polish land for themselves. It is very disappointing to have read it. It is easily available information on Wikipedia (in English) which origin he really was. I'd be very happy if the false nationality of this Polish surgeon could be corrected.

  This museum has the potential to be so much better. I knew reviews mentioned a lack of English but it was a lot worse than I expected. The first and third floors have English, which covers the history of one doctor, the tools and practices used and the third floor covers various illnesses of people but the second floor, where all the organs are, doesn't have any translations whatsoever. This is where we spent most of our time. There's so many organs on display and no translation whatsoever so we had no idea what we were looking at which is a real shame considering the rest of the museum has translations. Most people say this isn't for the faint of heart which is true as you will see many organs with various diseases but it's worth mentioning there is also deformed babies on display as this may be difficult for some people to see. Overall I highly recommend a visit here, it's by far one of the most interesting things you will see and it's definitely unique, it's just a shame we couldn't read more of what was on display.

  Very interesting, worth the visit especially for those with an interest in medicine, nursing and history. There are 3 levels of exhibitions so it may take some time to see everything (especially for those that like to read).

  Fantastic place! You can learn so much about medical things... Look for it really good, it's a little hide to get there
