Objects and personal stories connect medical discoveries with the people who experienced them. The permanent exhibition follows four centuries of care, from early hospitals to later public-health ambitions. It is especially useful for visitors interested in how science, social attitudes and everyday living conditions influence each other, rather than technology alone.
