The exhibition focuses on the plague, a devastating epidemic that repeatedly ravaged Europe during the Middle Ages, and shows how the plague doctors (so-called "plague physicians"), who were responsible for treating and monitoring the sick, worked.
The plague doctors wore special protective clothing, including the famous beak-shaped mask filled with herbs to protect themselves from infection. The exhibition explains their duties, challenges, and the medical practices of that time.
