Medical Discovery Centre
– between memory and innovation –
Medical Discovery Center – It will be a modern facility located in the historic building of the former General Surgery Clinic at 66/68 Skłodowska-Curie Street in Wrocław to bring together educational, scientific, business and tourist functions in one place.
It is being developed as an interactive centre for promoting medical knowledge, offering multimedia exhibitions, workshops and educational programmes for a variety of audiences.
At the same time, the centre will serve as a platform for collaboration between academia and industry, organising events, conferences and initiatives related to medical innovation. As a result, it will become a hub for the exchange of knowledge and the development of cutting-edge medical technologies.
Thanks to its attractive, engaging exhibition design and the use of modern technology, the Centre is also set to attract tourists as a unique attraction on the map of Wrocław and Europe. The combination of historical heritage and innovative storytelling will make it a place that is inspiring, health-educational and, at the same time, appealing to a wide and international audience and has to be visited.

– Fighting Misinformation –
One of the Centre’s key missions will be to combat medical misinformation. Through evidence-based exhibits, interactive learning, and expert-led workshops, the Centre will empower visitors to distinguish between credible medical knowledge and misleading or harmful content. It will serve as a beacon of truth in an era of information overload, promoting scientific literacy and public trust in medicine.
“I bow to all the brave and persistent explorers in medicine
who venture deep into the vast, mysterious continent that
is the human body. Their discoveries are the greatest
treasures that can be shared with others. These treasures
are better health and longer life”.
– Olga Tokarczuk, Polish Nobel laureate
