The paper discusses the preparation of an exhibition devoted to paediatric surgery at the Medical University. It is relatively young medical specialisation, practiced by a rather limited group of medical professionals. The knowledge on this subject is also limited, even among health care specialists.
The paper provides the most important information on paediatric surgery and attempts at identifying target visitor groups and issues which may be of interest for them. The various expectations and areas of particular interest have been indicated, depending on age, education and reasons for visiting the museum. The paper is an introduction to further discussion on the development and on how to display of the collection at the museum of the Medical University.
