Pirogov Museum

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:08:11

About 1.5km before you get to the chapel containing Pirogov's body, you can see his house, now a museum. It's actually more interesting than you'd expect, and not just because of the Soviet character of the place (the Soviets claimed Pirogov as a hero many years after his death because his inventions saved countless lives in the world wars). The doctor's anatomical sketches are also quite interesting, and one room remains unchanged from the surgeon's era. Bus 13 or marshrutka 70 or 48 pass the entrance on their way to the suburb of Pyrohove.
