Gustavianum
Gustavianum is Uppsala University's oldest preserved building and now its museum, most notable for its restored 17th-century anatomical theatre in the building's cupola, where public dissections were once performed for teaching and spectacle. The museum also holds university history collections, Nordic and Egyptian antiquities, and the Augsburg Art Cabinet, an elaborately crafted 17th-century curiosity cabinet.
