Bursa Health History Museum
Bursa Health History Museum, which witnessed a period, is Turkey's second health museum. The first health museum in our country was opened in Edirne. The Health Museum, which was opened on 14 March Medicine Day with the restoration of an old mansion within a private hospital in Bursa, reveals Turkey's developments in the field of health. In the museum, documents, photographs and devices belonging to the republic period are exhibited. The museum continues to grow with the addition of dozens of antique devices and drugs used in medicine every day. Many items such as old belongings of physicians, medical instruments, IDs, boards are donations of physicians or health care families. His pharmacy, which was donated by a pharmacist and served years ago, is also among the sections exhibited in the museum. In addition to all kinds of materials used in the field of medicine, many more interesting examples such as diseased organs stored in jars are exhibited. The idea of a museum began with the collection of health-related photographs, documents and objects to create a personal collection. The upper floor of the building, which has been converted into a museum with the restoration of the two-storey Yerkapı Mansion in Sur İçi, one of the old settlements of Bursa, consists of sections on the health field, while the lower floor is designed for research, events and exhibitions. The museum, which opened its doors to its visitors with the understanding of a living museum, was registered as the 18th museum in the inventory of Bursa Metropolitan Municipality. In Bursa Health History Museum, CHP Bursa Deputy Dr. Ceyhun İrgil also has a large collection. Collecting documents and information on the health history of the city for years, Dr. İrgil published these documents and information in a book in his two-volume Bursa Health History study last year.
