Musée de la Chirurgie Pr Christian Cabrol

Come and discover one of the few French museums devoted to the history of surgery. You'll be able to see everything from Neolithic surgical knives to the first artificial heart-lung machines. A room devoted to anatomy features fascinating exhibits from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The museum also informs the public about organ donation and current surgery, and for younger visitors, promotes careers in surgery to encourage vocations. A space unique in France, dedicated to the memory of Professor Christian Cabrol, contains objects and documents that belonged to the Professor and recounts his brilliant career.
An unusual and unforgettable two-hour guided tour! Visits by appointment only.
