The Anatomical Museum of the University of Basel explains the structure of the human body with its numerous exhibits - mainly original preparations of human body parts, organs and tissues. The prenatal development of humans is also presented. Special exhibitions explain particular areas of anatomy in an understandable way. In addition to modern exhibits, the museum has a large number of historically valuable specimens that have been restored using modern methods. Of particular importance is a skeleton prepared by Andreas Vesal in Basel in 1543, the oldest anatomical specimen in the world. Valuable wax models from the time of C. G. Jung around 1850 are on display and sectional preparations made by Hanson Kelly Corning (around 1900) have been preserved.
