Meckelsche Sammlungen, University anatomy collection at Martin-Luther University, Halle, Germany
The Meckelsche Sammlungen contains over 8,000 anatomical specimens, including human and comparative anatomical preparations, housed in the Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology.
Three generations of the Meckel family of anatomists established this collection between 1720 and 1833, developing it into one of Europe's largest anatomical collections.
The collection maintains scientific specimens from the former Wittenberg Anatomy, featuring dry preparations, wet specimens, and developmental studies of human and animal anatomy.
Visitors can explore the collection at Große Steinstraße 52 in Halle, where specimens are organized into human anatomical and comparative anatomical sections.
The collection includes the Wilhelm Roux developmental mechanics collection and awards the Meckel Prize every two years for contributions to anatomical research.
