This museum is definitely worth a visit if you're in Uppsala. Run by the university, the reasonable entrance fee gains you access to their fascinating and at times gruesome collections. English labels throughout make for an easy an enjoyable visit. Near the top of the museum is the replica medical dissection theatre and some displays of medical specimens that were... More

There were two things that we were interested to see in this museum and they didn't fail us. The Augsburg cabinet is an unique artefact that holds litelary hundreds of things all weirder than the rest. I think it's a must see. Also the anatomical theatre in the top floor is a cool place to visit for anyone with a... More

This museum is a must in Uppsala. The famous anatomic theatre is maybe the top attraction of this museum, which has collections of different historic objects. You get a good view of Swedish history and scientifc history when visiting this museum.

One of the better small museums in Sweden. Originally built to facilitate human dissections, hence all the windows in the cupola on top to let in as much of the high-latitude Swedish sunshine into the operating theater as possible. Despite its former function, a visit to the top is not macabre, but enlightening.

Interesting museum with a fantastic collection, well worth a visit. Best with a guided tour (only on week-ends). Highlights are the art cabinet and the anatomical theatre, both fascinating and unique historical pieces that I will never forget. Too bad they don't advertise more for this museum and it's a shame that the museum is a bit oldish and the... More
