A ticketed visit reveals fascinating treasures, from the famous 17th-century anatomical theatre where public dissections were held, to Viking and Egyptian antiquities, scientific instruments and the dazzling Augsburg Art Cabinet. A wonderful window into the history of science, learning and curiosity at one of Europe’s great universities, it is an absorbing and characterful museum and a highlight of Uppsala’s rich academic heritage.
