Russian Museum of Military Medicine

Located in the heart of Saint Petersburg, the Russian Museum of Military Medicine showcases a vast collection of approximately 210,000 exhibits that trace the history of military medicine in Russia and worldwide. Established in 1942 and later relocated to Leningrad, the museum offers insights into the evolution of medical practices during wartime, highlighting both the humanitarian efforts of military doctors and the darker aspects of medical involvement in warfare. Notably, it has played a crucial role in documenting the fates of over 100,000 missing soldiers, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in military history and medical ethics.
