Model of the National Hospital
Denne modellen, lagd av John og Turid Hestermann, er fra år 2000 og viser Rikshospitalet før flyttingen til nye bygninger på Gaustad. Rikshospitalet hadde da hatt adresse i Pilestredet siden 1883. Gjennom årene ble sykehuset påbygd og utvidet mange ganger. Stadig nye bygninger kom til for å gi plass til nye avdelinger og spesialoppgaver og stadig flere pasienter.
Sykehusets utvikling avspeiles i de mange ulike arkitektoniske stilartene som finnes i bygningskomplekset.
Ambulance, 1956
A Volvo PV 830 from 1956. This ambulance belonged to Fosdalens Bergverks AS in Malm in Nord-Trøndelag. Norway's first ambulance was delivered to the Oslo Municipal Medical Service in 1914. The ambulances replaced earlier handcarts and horse-drawn carriages. Today, there are well over 500 ambulances in operation in Norway.
Year of shooting, 1934
Skin with four bullet holes from the back of the head of grocer Edvard Rustad. Rustad was mysteriously executed on a January night in 1934. The skin was cut out and placed in alcohol and preserved as documentation and evidence in the case, which was one of the most talked about murder cases of the 1930s. The matter was never resolved. This preparation is one of several in the exhibition. They all come from the Department of Pathology, Rikshospitalet / University of Oslo.
