In addition, there are more than 2,000 volumes of medical works, some of which are rare, such as that of Pierre Dionis in the 17th century, surgeon to Louis XIV, or the first medical codex of 1818.
Several permanent exhibitions are on display: on the ground floor a reconstructed patients' room and a sacred art room (+ the chapel) and on the first floor four rooms (pharmacy, dentistry, medicine and surgery) including one in which a temporary exhibition is presented in 2021 entitled "The work of Louis Pasteur: Artist and Visionary ".
