Best Museum in Hungary

D	Diego Cudeiro on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting and cheap (3euros) One of the most interesting museum in Budapest. And very nice workers
T	Tom Morrin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Brilliant and disturbing look at the evolution of medicine, and international influences, in the office of a man who had a huge influence in improving obstetrics.
G	Gabor Mezei on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a must see. A fantastic exhibition, extremly friendly Staff. Loved it!
S	STEYsha SchoolofIrishDance on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very much appreciated all the English labels throughout the whole exhibit with very few small exceptions. The staff was ready to answer and questions and spoke English very well. The price is very fair for what the museum offers. The permanent exhibition has a very diverse collection of older medical and pharmaceutical artefacts as well as modern ones. It also presents dr. Semmelweiss' life and struggle to make medical practitioners wash and disinfect their hands before touching birthing women, in order to reduce mortality among them. This was a man sincerely interested in saving women's lives in an era where women's welfare was not a priority. He was ahead of his time and we owe him a lot for pioneering in this issue. Downstairs, at the temporary exhibition we were shown a documentary about him and his struggle. It has English subtitles. Be ready to spend 52 minutes for this. It may seem long, but it was totally worth it. I think we spent about 2.5 hours in there, as we took our time reading and watching all the items and the movie.
P	Peter Szabo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place has a lot of potential, there are a lot of cool things to see but the place is lacking explanations, descriptions and more text to understand and get more immersed in what we see. Also the Arabic medicine was almost non-existent while they were very advanced for a time. These are probably because the museum might not be well funded enough, it looks like there was an initial investment when it opened and since then it has been mostly just maintained. It is still worth it to go and see.
D	Daniel Matei on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small but very nice museum, with medical history and related artifacts. Thank you, sir, for telling us their stories! The most significant one belongs to Semmelweis: a medic who studied in Vienna and made a connection between the high rate of deaths and doctors' protocol, leading to the use of disinfectants before operating.
S	Sophie S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A small museum, full of medical curiosities. Some of the displays were in Hungarian only, which made understanding the content somewhat difficult. Worth a visit.
S	Sharmaine Tan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A bit macabre, definitely novel and fascinating! A smaller museum, with some quality exhibits. I was alone so it felt a little bit scary imagining the number of people who went under the knife with those tools. Interesting to stop by.
