Museum of wax moulages, Medical wax model museum at University of Zurich, Switzerland.
The Museum of Wax Moulages exhibits over 1800 anatomical models depicting various medical conditions, with 600 pieces currently on display at the University of Zurich.
The collection originated in 1916 when Professor Bruno Bloch, the first Dermatology chair at University of Zurich, initiated the creation of wax models for medical education.
These wax models represent a period when medical knowledge transfer relied on physical reproductions, preceding the advancement of color photography and digital technology.
The museum welcomes visitors without entrance fees on Wednesdays from 2 PM to 6 PM and Saturdays from 1 PM to 5 PM at Haldenbachstrasse 14.
The collection stands as the second largest assembly of medical wax models worldwide, surpassed only by Le Musée des Moulages in Saint Louis, France.
Opening Hours: Mercredi 14:00-18:00; Samedi 13:00-17:00
