Anatomical Models
The Cox Chair of Anatomy at University College, Dundee was established in 1888 as part of a major public campaign to establish a Medical School in the city.
Andrew Melville Paterson was appointed to the chair and quickly built up a museum of specimens and models for teaching. Only a small amount of the original collection survives - all human remains are housed in the current Anatomy Museum in the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification while models and other teaching aids are kept by Museum Services.
Shown on this page are a selection of models from the anatomy collection.
