Anatomy Museum
 
Does anyone know the where abouts of a museum in Italy that shows human cadavers that have been disected and preserved? These were done several hundred years ago. Hey, I'm not weird, just an interested surgeon.

I believe it is located in Florence. I can't remember the name of it but a good guide book should have information.

<BR>Yes, it is indeed in Florence. I cannot remember its name, but I saw a good book published by Taschen all about it. They are made of wax, though, as opposed to preserved human cadavers. Hey, what's up with weird?<BR><BR>Enjoy!

You probably know that Padua has a preserved renaissance anatomy theatre, a fine monument to the Enlightenment.<BR><BR>Welcome to Europe<BR><BR>Ben Haines, London

the Museum of Science in Florence might be what above posters are thinking of, but its website did indicate cadavers, only wax models.<BR>http://galileo.imss.firenze.it/intro/emuseo.html
