Museum of the History of Medicine of Galicia named after Maryan Panchyshyn is a museum in Lviv, on Karmelyuka Street, 3. Located in the house where doctor Maryan Panchyshyn lived in 1925—1943. The museum was opened in August 1990.

In June 1990, the idea arose to create a museum. His exhibits were supposed to talk about doctors — members of the Ukrainian Medical Society in Lviv, who by their activities made a significant contribution to the development of Ukrainian medicine.

‍

The initiative of the Ukrainian Medical Society to create a museum was supported by the city authorities. To accommodate the museum exposition, the villa of Professor Maryan Panchyshyn was rented, in which he lived from 1925 to 1943.

‍

In August 1990, the director of the National Museum Andriy Novakivsky gave permission to place the exposition of the Museum of the History of Medicine of Galicia on the second floor of the building. In 1992, by the decision of the Lviv City Council, the villa was leased to the Ukrainian Medical Society in Lviv to create an exposition of the Museum of the History of Medicine named after Maryan Panchyshyn.

To accommodate the museum exposition, the villa of Professor Marjan Panchyshyn was rented, in which he lived in 1925—1943. The building is a monument of history and architecture of the beginning of the 20th century, the architect is Kazimir Teodorovich. This is a typical example of Lviv residential architecture of the 1920s. In the 1960-1970s, it housed the department of the Institute of Applied Sciences of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and the city registry office of newborns. Since 1986 — the art and memorial museum of the sacred artist Antin Manastyrsky, since 1990 — the museum of the history of medicine of Galicia. In 1992 the villa was leased to the Ukrainian Medical Society in Lviv to create an exposition of the Museum of the History of Medicine named after Maryan Panchyshyn. On the facade of the house on the occasion of the creation of the museum there is a memorial table (sculptor Emmanuel Misko).

After the death of Maryan Panchyshyn, from 1945 to 1957, the therapist Timofey Hlukhensky lived in the house. To approve the rights to the house, he adopted a boy, who since 1957, after the family moved to Kiev, no longer appeared in any personal document of Glukhensky. In addition, the professor carried out a number of ambiguous property transactions, which were described in detail by the newspaper “Ukraine Moloda”.

‍

Since 2009, the descendants of Timofiy Hlukhensky - his daughter and grandchildren - have been tried for the rights to the house, in which the museum was already located. In 2015, the High Specialized Court of Ukraine for the consideration of civil and criminal cases finally left the building of the museum in the ownership of the community of Lviv.
