Summary/Abstract: Collecting has always entailed the passion on the part of the collector of particular artefacts. However, the exhibits gathered in the Museum of the History of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Medical University of Bialystok appeal to visitors mainly through the stories of their owners. They reflect the life’s passions of the medical environment and form part of the huge cultural heritage of the region as well as of the Polish science.
