New Anatomicum

The New Anatomicum is a medical education building at the University of Tartu, combining elements of classicism and modernism in its design. The structure contains lecture halls, laboratories, and exhibition spaces that support medical training and research.

The building was constructed in the early 1900s to enhance anatomical studies at the university. It received architectural monument status in 1997 and is now part of Estonia's protected cultural heritage.

The building shows how medical students worked and learned here, with exhibits about the development of medical practice. These spaces reflect the important role the University of Tartu played in training doctors for Estonia.

Visitors can explore the building during operating hours, with some areas accessible through guided tours. It helps to check ahead which sections are open for viewing and how long to plan for your visit.

The building preserves the memory of a time when anatomical teaching here was very hands-on and direct. The preserved rooms show how medical education evolved over decades and still shape the university's character today.
