About exhibition

The Military Medical Museum invites visitors to view the main exhibition “History of Medicine in Russia” and see unique exhibits that reveal the development of Russian medical science from ancient times to the present. The Military Medical Museum — the museum of Russian medicine and the military medical service — is the keeper of the earliest medical museums of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union: Masterovaya Izba, the Surgical Museum of the Imperial Medical-Surgical Academy, the N. I. Pirogov Museum, the Military Sanitary Museum, the Museum of the Military Medical Service of the Red Army, the Red Cross Museum, and others. It is one of the largest medical museums in the world and the only state medical museum in the Russian Federation. Visiting the Military Medical Museum's exhibition will be especially useful and informative for schoolchildren planning to pursue a career in medicine and for medical students, since the future is impossible without the past.
