Two buildings, one museum
Vesalius Museum is housed in two historic buildings. You will start and end your visit in Theatrum, the old anatomical lecture theatre. Don’t confuse it with the older anatomical theatre further along the street.
Theatrum is where you will find reception, the museum shop and the last room in your tour of the museum. Your visit to the permanent exhibition starts in the Laboratory, formerly the Pathology Institute.
Have you already bought a ticket online? Then you can go directly to the Laboratory.
NEW Museum shop
Vesalius Museum will also have its own museum shop, featuring a carefully curated selection of unique merchandise and special books.
Practical info
- You do not need a museum ticket to visit the shop.
- Its opening hours are the same as the museum’s: from Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 17:00.
