Gustavianum - Uppsala University Museum

The museum is quite mediocre. The only interesting hall contains old scientific apparels and mechanisms. The art gallery is poor. But the biggest disappointment was the anatomical theater which is just... a theater where you can find nothing at all. And the entrance fee is expensive. Better don't waste your time and money here

A well-arranged and educational museum. We had a good time in exploring history of Uppsala University. Personally, it was a great opportunity to visit the anatomical theatre, which I only read in my textbooks of medicine history back then.

It’s a nice museum. I expected to see more about Uppsala history. The were so kind and respectful. They keep the objects so perfectly and the podcasts related to objects was truly amazing and great idea. Also, there wasn’t just in Swedish language, I listened in English so easily

We happened to have arrived at the museum right before the guided tour, which is very informative.

Awesome museum inside of Uppsala University. Exhibition includes arts, coin collection, Viking culture artefacts. Unfortunately the Egypt section was closed was renovation during my visit but a lovely experience regardless

Was an interesting exhibition, with very different times. Also a lot of informations about everything.

Despite its look it needs good amount of time. There are lots of things to see

Another sightseeing stop in Uppsala is the Gustavianum museum. It is located across from the cathedral so it is easy to find. It cost 50 SEK to get in but you get access to the guided tour as well, they do one in Swedish and a highlight tour in English. Note that It is closed on Mondays. The museum has artefacts from around the world but the focus is on local history. The medical theatre is a beautiful piece of work. On a rainy day you could easily spend half a day here but if you only take a browse through it will take you about an hour.

It was a decent museum, The anatomical theater and the wax skull are probably the only highlights for me. I'm not sure why they have a Egyptian section. Overall, it is only 50 SEK, you have no regret if you skipped it.

As a museum I'm not sure this is really worth a trip. It's got three foci: ancient Egypt, the history of the university, but the pièce de la résistance is the anatomical theater that is several centuries old. The Egypt part felt fairly common place with mummies and hieroglyphs (beautiful donations by the former Queen Victoria of Sweden from her excavations) that you have seen similar of elsewhere. The building is pretty worn and could need a new coat of paint here and there. The anatomical theater is amazing since it was used for a long time at the medical school to teach gross anatomy to the students. The education was standing only allowing for many students to watch the cuts, and the organs visible.
