    The Museo dello Spedale del Ceppo in Pistoia, Italy, offers visitors a glimpse into the history of medicine and healthcare in Tuscany. Housed in a former hospital building, the museum showcases a collection of medical instruments, pharmaceutical artifacts, and anatomical models. The museum's highlight is its exterior, featuring a colorful glazed terracotta frieze depicting the seven works of mercy, which is considered a masterpiece of Renaissance art. Inside, visitors can explore the old hospital wards, the historic pharmacy, and learn about the evolution of medical practices from the Middle Ages to the modern era. While the museum is relatively small, it provides an informative and sometimes sobering look at medical history. Some visitors note that the explanations could be more comprehensive, especially for non-Italian speakers. However, the architectural beauty of the building and its historical significance make it a worthwhile stop for those interested in medical history or Renaissance art.
