A medical exhibition with an exposition of birth control items is a permanent exposition devoted to the history of medicine that is located in Daugavpils Fortress next to the “White Horse” Art Gallery.

Three halls with a total area of 350 square meters present a great number of objects, photos, and documents that explain to us how people were treated in past centuries and give a brief overview of the history of Daugavpils medical institutions. One hall is dedicated to medicine and medical care, the other allows visitors to get acquainted with the history of medical institutions that were opened in Daugavpils several years ago and are still working. The third hall is completely dedicated to contraception and various contraceptives can be viewed here.

The purpose of the exhibition is to show visitors what medicine used to be, how equipment, tools, etc. have changed. Special attention is paid to contraception to attract the attention of young people. Visitors can look at the full range of modern contraceptives and ask questions to the volunteer guides with medical education.
The exhibition is based on a private collection that has been collected for over 30 years.

The narration is available in Latvian, Russian, Lithuanian, and English. Entrance for children under 16 years old – only accompanied by adults.
