UNAM School of Medicine Museum

Very cool museum where it's free to get in and medical students learn there as well.

Not much to see in terms of an exhibit but the building itself is absolutely beautiful. It is worth your time to walk in and check it out

Would it treat to was to be able to step back in time and appreciate architecture and how far we’ve come in modern science

Great architecture and very well organized exhibitions of different aspects of medicine. Some displays might cause some discomfort, but they are really great reminders of how vulnerable lives are and how medicine and surgeries save / improve people’s lives.

Entrance is free, and it shows instruments and history of medicine in Mexico.

This museum used to be part of the Inquisition. I remember I visited to see the torture instruments as a child.

Great free museum! Definitely worth the visit even if your Spanish isn’t so good!

We did NOT get to go inside here - there’s a paper sign on the door saying that the place is closed until 7/24, which isn’t updated on Google maps. It seems promising though!

Very peaceful and the medical exhibition- very interesting

Stumbled upon this building/museum. Anyone interested in biology or medicine will enjoy walking around and exploring. FREE on our visit (Monday), not sure if it's always free or not.
Very cool to read and learn about medicine from ancient time through to the 20th century. There is no English text, but those without English will still enjoy. Recommended!

Excellent place to visit for both learning and inspiration: I usually find large museums hard to concentrate, but UNAM had small rooms with many visuals which helped me to focus on the specific topics and actually enjoy touring each room without being overwhelmed. Would totally recommend.

Accidentally went into this museum while exploring Mexico city. Maybe I am biased as a future medical professional, but this place is simply amazing! The admission is free, and they are open on Mondays. A lot of different things to see, organized by the different fields of medicine: gynecology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, etc. Some of the exhibit pieces may not be for the faint of heart, such as fetuses or full preparation of the corpse. However, if you are interested in medicine and medical history, it is a must see.

Great little museum. It's also free so that's a bonus!

Very cool free museum. Keep in mind there is no English translation for the Spanish info boards. My Spanish is mediocre so I wasn’t understanding a ton of the descriptions but still super fascinating to see the collections!

Such a beautiful palace needs to be known by everyone that comes to Mexico.
The Mexican medicine museum, a pretty complete library, the historical archive as well as the meetings hall and the exposition of the Inquisition and torture.
You can even find lots of cultural activities almost daily there.

Formerly the headquarters of the Inquisition that later became the academy of medicine. It now serves as a museum to the history of medicine in Mexico, spanning pre-hispanic times to the 20th century. It's worth a visit just to see the building itself which is quite architecturally impressive and unique. Be sure to note the "hanging arches" in each of the four corners which don't rest on columns!

Jeffrey Dahmer Would love this Place. Including Dr Death he did experiments with His Clients in Germany before he Fled to Brazil or Argentina. His Buddy was Hitler

No English text ;((

Super cool exhibition with free entry! Though there was almost no English explanation, still very interesting.

It was wonderful!

A great place and beautiful
