Visual dissection - The art of Anatomy | The University of Edinburgh

Dec 15: This exhibition gives a rare opportunity to view unique artifacts that have never been on public display.

Dissected skull, Maison Tramond model, Paris 19thC. Just one of the many fascinating artifacts on display in this unique exhibition.

The exhibition of human and animal anatomy charts four centuries of medical endeavour. It includes woodcuts and engravings from the 17^th century, Victorian wax and papier mâché models and exhibits that use the digital technologies of today.

Also included in the display is a wax moulding of two hands taken from a patient at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, a cast of the internal anatomy of the human head and a set of models showing the development of a rabbit’s heart.

The world’s largest three dimensional anatomical hologram and a colourful knitted representation of the human circulatory system will also go on show.
