Why go

This is a focused collection for visitors curious about the body, medical education and how anatomy has been taught. The specimens are the point of the visit, so it offers a markedly different experience from Basel's art and city-history museums. Its university setting also gives the material an academic context rather than a general science-centre feel.

What to look for

  • Human anatomical teaching specimens.
  • History of anatomical study.

Useful to know

  • Expect a specialist medical collection rather than a general family science museum.
