University of Wrocław Museum p.II

The collection of the Wrocław University Museum houses a unique collection dedicated to Professor Jan Mikulicz-Radecki, an outstanding surgeon and pioneer of modern surgery. Creator of surgical techniques and surgical instruments and an advocate of antisepsis, Mikulicz-Radecki ran clinics in Krakow and Wroclaw, contributing to the development of both medical schools. Among the memorabilia are personal items, such as a doctor’s earpiece, an office plaque and school notebooks from his education in Chernivtsi. The collection reveals the origins of modern surgery and the life of a scientist who made a permanent mark on the history of medicine.
