Историческая справка
The Military Medical Museum is located on the territory of Semenovskaya quarter and in the buildings of the former Semenovsky Life-Guards Regiment and Alexander's Hospital, one of the best medical institutions of the 19th century.
The building was built in 1799 by the architect F.I. Demertsov with the funds donated by the royal heir, the future Emperor Alexander I, and redesigned specifically for the museum in 1944-1945.
The Military Medical Museum is the successor to the first medical museums of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. It dates back to the medical exhibits brought to Russia by Peter the Great, to collections of instruments from the Craftsmen's Hut founded in 1721 on Aptekarsky Island, to the Surgical, Pirogov and the Army Medical museums, the Museum of the Red Army's Medical Service and others.
The exposition is opened in two galleries, viz. "The Origins of the Russian Medicine", "The Medicine of the 20th-21st Centuries” in 13 halls.
The museum's collections include items from the 18th-20th centuries, millions of medical records and personnel data cards for the troops that took part in the Great Patriotic War. The museum exposition devoted to the history of the military medicine, is unique.
On 10 December, 2001 the Semenovsky Life-Guards Regiment was commemorated by consecration of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary Chapel in the museum building. The icons and churchware in the chapel look exactly those the ones that were kept in the regiment’s Presentation Church located opposite the hospital.
