Lonely Planet review for Semmelweis Museum of Medical History
This museum traces the history of medicine from Graeco-Roman times, through medical tools and implements and photographs; yet another antique pharmacy also makes an appearance. Ignác Semmelweis (1818–65), the ‘saviour of mothers’, who discovered the cause of puerperal (childbirth) fever, was born in this house and much is made of his life and works.
