The history of the today’s University of Medical Science dates back to the interwar period. Its originator professor Adam Wrzosek was one of the founders of the Medical Faculty of University in Poznań as well as it’s first Dean. The Museum of History of Medicine started operating in 1920 as part of the Institute of History and Philosophy of Medicine. Our collection includes items donated by the professor and other people. Due to lack of inventory records it is hard to describe them in details. Most of those items were unfortunately destroyed during the Nazi invasion period. After the war in 1940’s and 1950’s, museum exhibits were not collected. The Museum of History of Medicine has formally ended it’s operation in 1950. Starting from 1980 Professor Roman Meissner the head of Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Medical Academy in Poznań (from 1985 the Institute of History of Medical Science) initiated the continuation process of what professor Wrzosek has started in the past.
The formal reopening of our museum was held in 1985. At that time the museum was situated on Sierocka 10 str. Since March 2004 the museum operated as an integral part of the Institute of History of Medical Science and professor Meissner was it’s custodian. In March 2004 the museum became a separate organization unit of the University. In the summer of 2005 the museum was relocated to a newly constructed Stomatology Center facility building.
The Museum collects exhibits related to the Poznan University of Medical Sciences as well as to the development process of medicine and pharmacy. All exhibits are arranged basing on related fields (surgery, internal medicine, laryngology, ophthalmology, anesthesiology and intensive care, radiology, laboratory, gynecology, dentistry and pharmacy). Our exhibits also include paintings, photographs, sculptures, documents, medals and other various valuable items. Our exhibits come from various faculties and departments of our University (mostly equipment designated for scrapping) as well as from individual people.
