This is a very small museum, and there really isn't that much to see here, although it does give some insight and has historical significance.

First go to "Kassa" (ticket office) where you get your tickets and also buy some souvenirs. Then there is another door where the permanent exhibition is displayed. Relatively small but it's interesting for the people who like history and medicine. It's interactive so feel free to open the drawers. Pro tip: On Thursdays, the entrance is free of charge but you should book it beforehand
