Museo Virtuale della Scuola Medica Salernitana (Virtual Museum of Salerno's Medical School), Salerno

Inaugurated in 2009, the Virtual Museum represents a comprehensive restoration, both in terms of its structure and overall organization, replacing the former Educational Museum of the Salerno Medical School.

Housed within the ancient Church of San Gregorio, dating back to the Lombard period around the year one thousand, the Virtual Museum employs a modern and engaging approach to its reception and event calendar. Leveraging films and 3D reproductions featuring professional actors, the museum retraces the techniques and knowledge of the Salerno Medical School, particularly during its centuries of eminence from the 10th to the 13th century.

Visitors are treated to illuminated panels showcasing reproductions of precious manuscripts and illuminated texts crafted by the Salerno Medical School during the Middle Ages. A highlight of the museum is the section devoted to the renowned Regimen Sanitatis Salernitanum, the work synonymous with the global renown of the Medical School.

The main room's glass floor reveals the ancient underlying structure, and keen observers can spot an array of surgical instruments—both original and reconstructed—used by the pioneering physicians of history. Additionally, panels dedicated to Trotula de Ruggiero, the first female doctor in history, offer a fascinating exploration of the role of women in the Middle Ages, capturing the attention and curiosity of visitors.
