Gustavanium Museum

The Gustavianum was erected in the 1620s to be the main building of Scandinavia's oldest university, and served as such through most of the 19th century. The building is now home to the University Museum, containing five permanent exhibitions.

The ball on top of the Anatomical Theater is a sundial







The history of the university from 1477 to the present day is highlighted, as is the Anatomical Theater with an exhibit on early anatomical and medical studies. The famous Augsburg Art Cabinet with its fantastic inventory is on display as are other such unique objects like Celsius' thermometer. The university collections of Nordic, Classical and Egyptian antiquities are also on show, together with local and Egyptian objects from the Scandinavian salvage campaign to Nubia in the 1960s.

The admission to the museum is about 30SEK but somehow we managed to get in n wandered throughout all the exhibition.. w/o paying a single cent.. :p haha.. The first few levels are somewhat like a Science Centre with all the science stuff.. then the rest tells of Swedish history...





Re-construction of the "Lecture Theatre" where the lecturers will dissect executed criminals to show the medical students...
