About
The Health Museum is a museum located in Sultanahmet, Istanbul. The museum was founded by Hikmet Hamdi in 1918 and first exhibited tables and figures related to venereal diseases, before expanding to infectious and social diseases. Since its reorganizations in 1928 and 1939, the museum now has physiology and anatomy departments to help primary and secondary school students with the study of cancer, tuberculosis, mental health, nutritional diseases, dental health, and infectious diseases.
