Anatomical Museum, Old Medical School - University of Edinburgh

Edinburgh

The Anatomical Museum is in the current Anatomy Department in the Old Medical School, which opened for the winter session of anatomy teaching in 1880. The building was designed by Robert Rowand Anderson.

This is a rare opportunity to visit the Anatomical Museum, a venue normally used for medical student study and teaching. The museum displays specimens, models and human remains that have been used to teach anatomy since the medical school was established in 1726, most notoriously the skeleton of the murderer of William Burke.

The museum will be hosting four pre-booked sessions:

• 10:00am – 11:30am
• 11:30am –  1:00pm
• 1:00pm – 2:30pm
