Remembering 2006: Monash Anatomy Museum

Welcome to the Monash University Anatomy Museum, off-limits to anyone else to the uni but medical and science students. Here's a sneak peek.

Not for the easily disturbed.

Good if you're curious..

Click on the pictures for a larger view.




The anat museum hosts a variety of human specimens (couldn't find a better word) ranging from plastinated models to wet specimens preserved in formaldehyde solution. Hence the sweet smell emanating from the museum.





The preserved head and upper torso. I can't seem to determine his/her gender. May be disturbing to some. But gives me a sense of peace, if not dignity.





Upper limbs in various stages of dissection. Students usually gather around here post dissection for a de-briefing and summary by the facilitators. This is when you start asking questions if you have doubts.
