In ancient time medicine was considered to be a craft. For that reason, the exhibition "
Ancient Crafts and Industries" at Hecht Museum also features the work of doctors in antiquity.
The permanent exhibition "The Physician's Craft" introduces the visitor to the world of healing in ancient times. This exhibit explores ancient diseases, methods of rational healing, and medications produced from minerals and plants. Among the impressive artifacts are the surgical instruments of a physician from the Roman period.
