Royal Danish Academy of Surgery

The Royal Danish Academy of Suregry (Danish: Det Kongelige Kirurgiske Akademi), or Academia Chirurgorum Regia, was an educational institution which existed from 1785 until 1842 in Copenhagen, Denmark . Its former building at Bredgade now houses Medical Museion, University of Copenhagen's museum of medicine.

## History

The Academy of Surgery was founded on 22 June 1785 as a replacement for the Theatrum Anatomico-chirurgicum from 1736.[1] Queen Dowager Juliane Marie donated a lot in Bredgade, near Frederiks Hospital, and a building for the new institution was completed in 1787 to a design by Peter Meyn. The first president of the Academy was Alexander Kølpin (1731-1801).

The Academy of Surgery merged with the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Copenhagen on 1 January 1842. The building remained in use for dissections and lectures on surgery. It now houses Medical Museion, the University's museum of medicine.[2]
