Museo delle Arti Sanitarie
The Museo delle Arti Sanitarie, set within the historic Ospedale degli Incurabili, offers one of Naples’ most intriguing journeys into the evolution of medical knowledge. Founded in the early 2000s, the museum preserves centuries of scientific practice through surgical instruments, apothecary tools and rare medical artefacts that reveal how the city confronted epidemics, innovation and daily care. Visitors encounter objects such as 18th‑century amputation saws and the distinctive plague doctor mask, alongside reconstructions of historic pharmacies and monastic infirmaries. The setting itself—part hospital, part monastic complex—deepens the atmosphere, blending science, spirituality and social history. Intimate yet compelling, the museum highlights Naples’ long tradition of healing arts and its enduring commitment to medical research and compassion.

Nearby attractions include the Farmacia Storica degli Incurabili with its ornate 18th-century apothecary, the underground Museo del Sottosuolo, Porta San Gennaro gate, and the vibrant Via dei Tribunali lined with pizzerias, churches like Gesù Nuovo, and the lively energy of the university district.
