    There is the Gustavianum opposite to the Cathedral. The Gustavianum is the oldest building of the Uppsala university, the first in Scandinavia.

    The university was established in 1477. The building was constructed in 1625. The university museum and the museum of northern antiques are located in this building now.

    Gustavianum is one of those peculiar museums with a mix of things. It is housed in the university's oldest building and mainly famous for its anatomical theatre (see the cupola), used for centuries by medical students. However, there is also an exhibition on coins, Uppsala university as a whole and one on the old Egypt. Temporary exhibitions can be about various times in Swedish history for instance.

    Opposite the cathedral is Gustavianum, one of the University’s oldest buildings. The museum has got several different exhibitions.
    You can learn about the University’s history from 1477 until today. One of the highlights in the museum is the Augsburg Art Cabinet that was given to king Gustav II Adolf when he was in Germany during the Thirty Years War. In one room you can see objects from ancient Nubia, Egypt, Greece and Cyprus.
    On the upper floor there is an Anatomical Theatre which was used before for autopsy while the medical students were watching.

    Entrance fee is 40 kr.
    The museum is open Tuesday - Sunday between 11 - 16.

    At Gustavianum there are also temporary exhibitions. When I was there you could also see glittering colourful cribs from Krakow. The all have two tall church towers, the religious motif with the new born Jesus and a secular motif.

    In the picture you can see buildings from Uppsala.
    You can see the exhibition until the 1st of February.

    The museum 'Gustavianum is the oldest university building in Sweden, Gustavianum hosts different exibitions. There is for example one about the Swedish stone and middle ages.

    The old 'Anatomical Theatre', a narrow, steep ammphitheatre-shaped room was once a lecture-hall where otoptsys were performed before an audience of doctors-to-be. This is supposedly one of very few anatomical theatres remaining in Europe. There is one in Italy too, somewhere (Naples?).

    The Gustavianum museum is also home to Uppsalas only mummy.
    The building itself is a sight too.
