Story

Located in the historic center of Amasya, the Sabuncuoğlu Museum of Medical and Surgical History is a treasure house that brings to life the golden age of 14th-century Ottoman medicine. The museum is named in honor of the famous surgeon and scientist Sabuncuoğlu Şerafeddin (1385–1470). The 'Cerrahiyyetü'l-Haniyye' written by Şerafeddin represents the pinnacle of Ottoman science and is regarded as the first comprehensive surgical book to influence European medicine. In the museum's splendid display cases, surgical tools, medical instruments, and meticulously preserved written documents of the period are exhibited. The carefully arranged spaces are adorned with detailed replicas of past medical practices. For those who wish to understand the achievements of Ottoman civilization in the fields of science and health, this museum is a cultural center that must be visited in Amasya. Taking advantage of the guided tours to learn the background history of the museum's collections makes the experience far more meaningful.
