Since its foundation, the Technical Museum of Slovenia has collected and preserved objects from the field of medicine. The medical devices, instruments and tools collection nowadays contains more than 500 object, such as a wooden X-ray machine, iron lung and heart-lung machine. The collection is held at the storage depo and except for few objects has not been presented to the public yet.
Due to space limitations, only a small selection of objects is presented at the exhibition Treasures from the Depots: Medical instruments and equipment. Based on their use, the items are divided into surgery, dentistry, obstetrics and gynecology, otorhinolaryngology and other. The exhibition is part of a series of events celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Technical Museum of Slovenia.
The exhibition is on display from 3 April 2021 to 31 December 2021 in the Nikola Tesla lecture room.
