K	Khánh Dương on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I don't know what it's called. looked like this place is close permanently
A	Attila Bedő on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The wax exposition is really detailed, however the other part is almost empty. No photos are allowed.
A	Andrea D on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There is an impressive collection of wax models, and the temporary exhibitions are interesting and well-chosen. Recommended even if you, like me, are not particularly a fan of medicine.
T	TB DN (Ourson) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went here last August. They have a remarkable medical wax model collection. It is truly amazing, you definitely have to check it out, especially if you are medical student/in medical field. There's discount for medical student, but the price is really cheap for what you're about to see.
J	John Ciccone on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I formerly worked for medical societies and have an interest in medical museums. The Josephinum has a collection of extraordinary wax anatomical models that were made as teaching aids. Including one depicting the cadaver of a beautiful young woman wearing a string of pearls. The intention of the figure, I assume, was to cause the medical students to remember the humanity of their patients, and that they are far more than simply a disease to be treated. A superb museum, clearly not for children.
A	Alin Teodosiu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful exposition part of the Vienna medical faculty. Would recommend to check the visiting hours first since they are a bit odd.
A	Andreea C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the lesser known attractions in Vienna, the Josephinum hosts a unique collection of anatomical wax models made about 300 years ago. The amount of detail is impressive and learning about the fabrication process makes it even more so. Unfortunately the Josephinum is closed until 2021 for renovation purposes. A crowdfunding initiative has been started that allows you to donate for the restauration and maintenance of the exhibit. Check out their website.
