The collctions of the Museum present the history of the school after 1945 - starting as a Doctor's Academy, then as the Medical University of Gdańsk. They also include objects connected with the Atheneum Gedanense, the Anatomy and medicine Chair established in 1580, the Medical Department of the Stefan Batory University of Vilnius, whose tradition is continued at the University, and the history of medicine in the region surrounding the city of Gdańsk. Most pieces are from the 20th centtury and illustrate the development of the medical school in Gdańsk as well as the changes which have occureed in medicine within the last decades.
