Medicinhistoriska museet is Uppsala's museum of medical history, covering changing ideas about health, illness, treatment, and care. Its setting is part of the story: the area was used as a psychiatric hospital in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The museum is a specialist stop rather than a headline sight, but it gives good context in a university city shaped by science and scholarship. Exhibits touch on both physical and mental health, with older instruments and hospital history making the material tangible.
