The 18th-century house where Ignaz Semmelweis was born in 1818 now holds a museum, library and archive devoted to the history of medicine. Its Hungarian name, Semmelweis Orvostörténeti Múzeum, Könyvtár és Levéltár, is the one likely to appear on signs.
The exhibition traces the development of healthcare in Hungary alongside the main stages in the history of medicine in Europe, which makes the museum a natural stop for anyone interested in how medical practice has changed over time.
Founded in 1965, the museum has been a department of the Hungarian National Museum since 2017. It stands in Budapest's District I.
