Musée Testut-Latarjet, Medical science museum in Rillieux-la-Pape, France.
The Testut-Latarjet Museum contains a collection of 20,000 medical specimens, including skeletons, skulls, and anatomical specimens preserved in labeled jars.
Founded in 1854 at Hotel-Dieu, the museum originated from donations by surgeon Marc-Antoine Petit to the National Medical Society of Lyon.
The museum showcases eight main areas including comparative anatomy, criminal anthropology, Egyptology, embryology, osteology, paleoanthropology, and tropical diseases.
The museum requires advance reservations for guided tours, with regular visits scheduled on Saturday afternoons and special events on Wednesdays and Sundays.
The collection features the skull of a storyteller who inspired Gnafron and death masks of Jacquard, along with the skeleton of 19th-century street singer Eugene Dullin.
