People have always been interested in discovering their past and seeking answers to their existential questions. Therefore institutions like museums, which collect exhibits related to the history and development of humans, have been known since antiquity. However, museology today has changed and is no longer confined to establishments related to popular fields like painting, sculpture and archaeology. Nowadays, there are also museums dedicated to medical sciences, which present the history of humanity in the sphere of its biological development. The Medical University in Wrocław can boast of several such establishments, although so far they have been treated as separate institutions. For this reason, the idea was created to combine them all into a single museum route, and to make it available to a broader visitor base. Thanks to this, people can view items from old and modern medicine practice located in many different sites, allowing them to deepen their knowledge and expand their interests. To make it easier for visitors to navigate through such a diverse complex, a special museum path has been created, along with a description of each location.

In the article the role of Slobozhanshchyna scientists in organization of medical museums of higher education institutions in the 19th – early 20th centuries is analyzed. Theauthor uses general theoretical, biographical, chronological, systematic research methods. It is noted that analysis of historical and pedagogical sources and generalization of literature allowed to assert that in the 19th – early 20th cent. the emergence of medical museums in Slobozhanshchyna region, that was controlled by the Russian Empire, was initiated by education institutions (Imperial Kharkov University, Women’s Medical Institute of Kharkiv Medical Society), scientific societies (Kharkiv Medical Society) and the active participation of scientists. Organization of the medical museums of higher education institutions was based on the provisions of the University Charters (1804, 1835, 1863, 1884), the Circulars of Ministry of Education and special instructions that were issued by Universities. The author notes that the Anatomical museum collections were created at the beginning of the formation of medical education at Kharkiv University and Women’s Medical Institute of Kharkiv Medical Society. The article proves that there were such medical museums at Kharkiv University during the action of University charter of 1863 and 1884 years: Museum of Physiological anatomy, Museum of Pathological Anatomy, Museum of Forensic Medicine, Student anatomical Museum, Museum at the University obstetric clinic, Museum of the operative surgery department. It was proved that Slobozhanshchyna scientists had created theoretical and methodological principles of medical museums; involved in practical participation in the establishment, recruitment, organizing museum collections; provided livelihoods museums orientation as medical research and cultural and education institutions. The practical significance of organization of medical museums was to promote the development of national higher education and dissemination of scientific knowledge among the population. Further research is required in the field of investigation of the role of Slobozhanshchyna scientists in the development of Natural orientation museums.

Due to the uniqueness of wet museum exhibits, there is often a shortage of adequately trained people to carry out conservation work in museum units. Unfortunately, in many cases, the museum exhibits require immediate work. There is usually a visible loss of preservative fluid, or no fluid at all if it has evaporated. Moreover, chipped lids and damaged jars frequently occur. Some exhibit labels are damaged or torn off. Some items have been exhibited incorrectly, but when they are transferred to a new vessel or the fluid is replaced, they gain added value. Although there is a great need for conservation work, many museologists fail to carry it out. A significant problem is the absence of unified conservation procedures or guidelines which could be applied for these types of cases. This paper includes conservation formulas and recipes used at the Molecular Techniques Unit. The authors of this paper hope that it will be helpful to all those who deal with preserving wet museum exhibits.
