The display reflects the development of medicine and some key medical breakthroughs – the first use of ether as a surgical anaesthetic, the first smallpox vaccine, the introduction of aseptics and antiseptics. The display also shows the result of Professor Demikhov's experiment – the double-headed dog. Another display illuminates the topic of space biology and space medicine.
