scientific instruments

The Museum collection of scientific instruments contains more than 6,000 objects, illustrating the evolution of medicine and medical specialties along the contemporary period, between the ends of the 18th- and the 20th Centuries. The whole collection constitutes a heritage of exceptional depth on the evolution of medical activities in Catalonia.

We present 16 categories of medical objects, though several devices could be placed in more than one category. From this website, we want to show the value of the collection and the possibility to learn from the displayed areas. We will gradually add new links with relevant information, photographs and comments on the collection objects. We hope you will enjoy our work in unceasing construction.
