See eighteenth-century wax anatomical models in a historic medical museum. A fascinating, slightly unusual stop for the curious.
Full description
The Josephinum is an old-school medical museum with more than a thousand wax anatomical models created in the eighteenth century. A reviewer found it a fascinating place to learn about the body and the evolution of medicine, though not a big exhibition.
It is closed on Mondays and open from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturdays. A visit takes about three quarters of an hour and suits curious travellers.

Fascinating place to learn about the body and evolution of medicine. Not a big exhibition but good to see. Wouldn’t recommend with small children.
