Museum of Human Anatomy Luigi Rolando

The Luigi Rolando is a natural history museum in Turin that displays human body structures. The exhibition contains wax figures, preserved specimens, and scientific instruments documenting anatomical study.

The institution began in 1739 when anatomical preparations were made for medical education. This collection became a foundation for teaching human body knowledge in the region.

The collection shows how people once understood the human body through wax figures and preserved specimens. Visitors can observe how medical knowledge and teaching methods evolved over centuries.

The museum is located in a central spot and is open most days of the week. Visitors should expect traditional opening hours and can anticipate accessible entry for wheelchairs.

The exhibition halls preserve the original 19th-century layout with wooden display cases and dim lighting. This appearance offers a rare look at how such collections were once presented to students and visitors.
