Exhibition “War and preace under the microscope”

05/06/2021 h 31/03/2022 F Add to the calendar 2021-06-05 2022-03-31 Europe/London Exhibition “War and preace under the microscope” Welcome to a journey that may feel somewhat familiar. After all, we are contemplating epidemics that are centuries old, even more than a thousand years old, and we are letting them tell their own story, while the covide epidemic still haunts us with its story. The concept of an epidemic will no longer hold any secrets for us after this ... That is not what I said! The concept of victory is still missing. There is no more beautiful or appropriate place than the Hôpital Notre-Dame à la Rose, where the sick were once treated with all the care and devotion they deserved, to tell the story of mankind's struggle to survive for more than a century: its victories, its defeats, its doubts, its ingenious and strange methods, its important people, its masterly discoveries since Hippocrates, the benefits of which we still enjoy today. Admission to the exhibition is included in the museum admission ticket.

Our Lady of the Rose Hospital

A magical and timeless place: one of the oldest and notably conserved hospitals in Europe!

Founded in 1242, the Notre-Dame à la Rose Hospital is one of the last examples of a complete autarkic hospital site with its farm, gardens, icehouse and cemetery, next to the conventual and hospitable buildings. He is the witness of the mode of operation of the hospitals of the Middle Ages.

This Hôtel-Dieu is exceptional for the state of conservation of the entire site, the diversity of buildings and the wealth of artistic, pharmaceutical and medical collections, presented in their authentic setting. A Hôtel-Dieu was a hospital that provided medical care to soldiers and to people who were too poor to be cared for at home.
