The Museum library is made up of approximately 2000 volumes, largely dedicated to the history of science. A selection from the historical collection with ancient volumes is displayed, on rotation, at the museum.
Consulting the Library
The library provides an on-site consultation service, free of charge; you may consult the library catalog on the University Opac website and then present a request for consultation (download the Library consultation form HERE).
The Museum archive preserves materials of various origins spanning from the beginning of the 15th to the 20th century, mostly relating to medical studies but also concerning other disciplines and the history of the University.
Consulting the Archive
The inventory of the material can be consulted on site and partly online, on the Lombardia Beni Culturali website, free of charge. To request the service, present a request addressed to the Museum Director (download the Archive consultation form HERE).
Licensing of images and videos (Archive and Museum items)
It is possible to produce and publish photographs and videos of Museum documents and items, upon authorization by the Director (download the license request form HERE).
The Museum is happy to collaborate with institutions and individuals for internal and external exhibitions and is therefore open to loans requests; such requests, however, must be submitted with sufficient time to allow for the completion of administrative procedures; clearance from national offices in charge requires about 4 months.
The Museum requests a scientific plan for the project and a facility report of the location where the exhibition will take place.
