The Basel Anatomical Museum was established at the Department of the Medical Faculty of the University of Basel, the oldest in Switzerland , on the initiative of the scientist Karl Gustav Jung in 1924. This is not the most popular place for tourists; rather, it will arouse interest among a narrow circle of people - medical students or children interested in building a human being, but if the roads lead you to this wonderful town, then we advise you not to ignore this museum either, because here collected a huge number of exhibits, allowing detailed study of the anatomy of the human body.
Exposition of the museum
All the museum exhibits are divided into thematic topics, for example, in the "Human Nervous System" exposition, alongside the model of the brain, other exhibits are presented that show the work of the nervous system in detail. The crown of the collection of the Anatomical Museum of the University of Basel can easily be called the skeleton of a man, preserved from 1543 and restored with the help of modern technology.
Surprising and models of wax, created by the founder of the museum in 1850, as well as an exhibition of prostheses and implants and a separate exposition devoted to the intrauterine development of man.
