Pathology and Forensic Medicine Collection

Historical Model Collection

The Pathology and Forensic Medicine Collection has an important collection of wax, papier-mâché and ceramic models dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A number of prominent model makers feature in the collection, including Auzoux of France, Bock Lips Steger of Germany and Towne of London. These models, originally used in medical teaching, present a variety of pathological appearances and form an important aspect of the University’s wider anatomical model collection (held also by the Anatomy and Zoology Museums).
