Old Anatomical Theatre, Anatomical theatre in Kesklinn, Estonia.
The anatomical theatre features a central rotunda with two symmetrical wings, displaying elements of early 19th century educational architecture.
Built in 1805 by Johann Wilhelm Krause and Carl Rathhaus, the theatre underwent expansions between 1825 and 1860 to accommodate growing medical education needs.
The theatre served as a fundamental institution for medical training in Estonia, where students gathered to study human anatomy through practical demonstrations.
Located at Lossi Street 38 in central Tartu, the building opens its doors to visitors interested in exploring the evolution of medical education.
The theatre maintains its original wooden seating arrangement in a circular formation, designed specifically for students to observe anatomical procedures.
