Anatomy Room
Online exhibition
Thanks to medical science, we know more and more about the human body. You can see how this knowledge was shared in earlier centuries in the Anatomy Room of the University Museum.
Human bodies
In the past, human bodies were needed to instruct doctors. However, in the age before freezers, it was a major challenge to preserve them. Glass jars with preservative fluids offered the solution. In a liquid, such as alcohol, body parts can be preserved for centuries. Anatomists like Petrus Camper amassed extensive collections of preparations.
Human cross-section
About fifty of these preparations are on display in the Anatomy Room. Here you will find, for example, dissected hearts and mounted human skeletons. A remarkable specimen is the ‘sliced man’: a 27-year-old man who was cut into cross-sections around 1920.
A little scary? Or fascinating, perhaps? You can experience medical heritage firsthand in the Anatomy Room.
