The Basque Museum of History of Medicine and Science has gathered more than 6,000 objects from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by museum's own EHU webpage, SciELO article, Wikipedia (ES/EN), NLM directory, and Gaceta Médica de Bilbao profile, all citing approximately/more than 6,000 objects. One discrepancy noted: Basque government tourism sites cite ~8,000 instruments plus 7,000 books, likely reflecting a different counting methodology (total holdings vs. exhibited collection) rather than a contradiction.
