Pauls Stradins Museum for history of medicine
Things are not always what they appear to be
Since September 4, 1944, the collection of Pauls Stradiņš has included a mummified animal. Since then, from generation to generation, museum specialists have always claimed that it is a mummified cat, and that is what was stated in the relevant documentation. The situation changed on January 19, 2012, however, when computer tomography was conducted on the mummy to ascertain what kind of animal it was.
