On the last day of January, the ARPM invited its colleagues from the Association on an excursion to the «Russian Museum of Medicine» of the «National Research Institute of Public Health named after N.A. Semashko», located in the old Vogau Manor in Nikolovorobinsky Lane.

Currently, the museum is hosting an exhibition «Inculcation Public Health», dedicated to the development of healthcare in Russia in the 20th century. Among the exhibits are the desk and documents of N.A. Semashko, agitation posters, books, brochures from the 20-30s of the last century, old medicines, a captured field surgical kit from the Second World War, and even a field pharmacy of the imperial family.

The museum exposition allows you to get acquainted with the history of the development of Russian healthcare from the beginning of the 20th century, the fight against the epidemics of Spanish flu, smallpox, typhus and cholera, to the present day and the flourishing of such areas of medicine as traumatology, transplantology and ophthalmological surgery, some halls are dedicated particularly to military medicine from the First World War to the fields of the Special Military Operation.

The Sightseers actively asked questions, studied the exhibits and, of course, thanked the guide for a lively, fascinating and detailed naration. Many expressed a desire to visit the museum on a sightseeing tour of the Vogau Manor itself, where the amazingly beautiful interiors have been preserved practically without restoration.
