The Successful Return of Anatomical Museum Open Days

After a Covid 19-induced absence of three years, the Anatomical Museum Open Days returned in 2023 with monthly openings in February, March, April and May.

Due to the huge public demand and the limited capacity of the museum, the Open Days were all made ticketed (with free entry) and all sold out almost straight away. Over the four Open Days we welcomed 873 visitors and received much positive feedback. Our March Open Day also featured anatomy inspired artworks from Edinburgh College of Art students as part of their 'Anatomy of a Museum 2' exhibition. The Open Days, which are made possible with the help of not only Anatomy staff but also our student volunteers, will return on 30th September, 28th October and 25th November with tickets available via Eventbrite closer to the time.

 

Came here to see Burke & Hare elements of the collection and was happily surprised by everything else on display...fascinating

Wonderful displays, very educational and respectful

The remains are displayed sensitively, and the descriptions are very enlightening
