Musée d'Anatomie Delmas-Orfila-Rouvière, Anatomical university museum in Paris, France
The museum collection contains over 5,800 specimens, including preserved organs, anatomical models, and artistic representations of the human body for medical education.
Founded in 1794 by professor Honoré Fragonard, the museum expanded under Mathieu Orfila's leadership after his visit to the Hunterian Museum in London.
The museum walls display 45 medallions depicting major medical events, reflecting the progression of anatomical understanding through French academic history.
The collection relocated to the University of Montpellier in 2011, where medical students and researchers can access the specimens for educational purposes.
Among the preserved items are brain specimens from anatomist Paul Broca, along with historical casts representing various demographic groups.
