Anatomy Museum, Montpellier

The Anatomy Museum was initiated in 1794. It is located in the building of the Faculty of Medicine. The collection of the museum includes approximately five thousand showpieces. The walls of the museum are decorated with the portraits of notorious doctors who made a difference in medicine. The pride of the museum, though, is the Anatomical Theatre - a staging of the surgical processes. The Anatomy Museum in Montpellier is the biggest of its kind in the entire country.
