The Semmelweis Medical History Museum was opened in 1965. Its collection covers Hungarian medicine, pharmacy and medical system enriched by the objective relics of western medicine. The permanent exhibit is dedicated to the development of western medicine from the prehistoric age to the beginning of the 20th century with emphasis on the development of Hungarian medical system, the work of Semmelweis and the establishment of the modern Hungarian medication.
