Museum of Human Anatomy Luigi Rolando

The Museum of Human Anatomy Luigi Rolando contains extensive collections of anatomical specimens, wax models, and educational materials illustrating human body structures and functions.

The museum originated in 1739 when Giovanni Battista Bianchi commissioned the first anatomical preparations under the reign of Carlo Emanuele III of Savoy.

The museum holds over 200 human anatomical wax models, preserved specimens, and scientific instruments that reveal the evolution of medical education through centuries.

Located at Corso Massimo d'Azeglio 52, the museum opens Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and provides wheelchair access for visitors.

The exhibition space maintains its 19th-century layout with original wooden display cases filled with specimens and minimal artificial lighting throughout the halls.
