This museum is a must in Uppsala. The famous anatomic theatre is maybe the top attraction of this museum, which has collections of different historic objects. You get a good view of Swedish history and scientifc history when visiting this museum. More

Interesting museum with a fantastic collection, well worth a visit. Best with a guided tour (only on week-ends). Highlights are the art cabinet and the anatomical theatre, both fascinating and unique historical pieces that I will never forget.

The museum Gustavianum, nearby Uppsala cathedral (Uppsala domkyrka), is showing Uppsala in several aspects: historical, educational and scientifical etcetera. There are also some exhibition objects from other parts of the world from different donators. Gustavianum is a part of Uppsala University (1477) - one of the oldest university in Sweden. More
