The body viewed systematically
The anatomical collection organises structures and organs. Choose one specimen and first read the normal build and cross-section before moving to abnormalities in another case.
Pathology in around five hundred pieces
Organs and organ parts show the effects of disease. The display can be confronting; take time over medical terms and ask for explanation without drawing your own diagnoses.
Embryology and teratology
The third collection deals with development and congenital conditions. A children’s trail exists, but supervisors must judge for themselves whether the content and visible human remains are suitable.

The museum is open on weekdays, Friday until 13:00. Check for any holiday or public-holiday closures before your visit.
