Best time to visit

Radni dani ujutru, odmah po otvaranju, kada je najmanje posetilaca. Vikendom popodne često znaju biti pune školske grupe.

Budget tips

Ulaznica košta oko 5 evra, a studenti i penzioneri dobijaju popust uz važeću iskaznicu. Karta za sve muzeje Univerziteta u Koimbri pokriva i ovaj muzej, pa se isplati ako planirate obilazak više lokacija.

About

Quick facts: Four centuries of hospital care unfolded in these stone halls before the building reopened as a science museum, and the original 18th-century pharmacy still stands with hundreds of hand-painted ceramic jars. Roughly 30,000 objects fill the collections, including period astronomical instruments and natural history specimens preserved by professors who taught in these same rooms.

Highlights: Forget the display cases for a minute; the real showstopper is the intact pharmacy, where row after row of hand-painted jars still sit beneath a painted ceiling and the air smells faintly of wood, wax, and old herbs. Follow the elevated metal walkway across into the botanical garden, a bridge that lets you float above the treetops between two centuries of learning.

Insider tips

  • Ponesite udobne cipele jer su podovi od kamena i staze kroz laboratorije su duge
  • Obavezno pogledajte kolekciju starih teleskopa i mikroskopa na spratu, retko se viđa tako dobro očuvana oprema
  • Izbegavajte posetu tokom velikih odmora kada su školske ekskurzije najčešće
  • Fotografisanje je dozvoljeno bez blica, pa ponesite kameru za staklene tegle sa hemijskim preparatima
