The Cro-Magnon were a population of early Homo sapiens dating from the Upper Paleolithic Period (c. 40,000 to c. 10,000 years ago) in Europe. In 1868, in a shallow cave at Cro-Magnon near the town of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac in the Dordogne region of southwestern France, a number of obviously human skeletons were found. The cave was investigated by the French geologist Édouard Lartet, who uncovered five archaeological layers of skeletons dating from 10,000 to 45,000 years ago. This was one of the skulls cast from the archaeological dig, sent to The Anatomical Museum's collection for purposes of research. More information on the Cro-Magnon can be found here.

The collection consists of 12,000 objects and specimens that tell the story of 300 years of anatomical teaching at the University of Edinburgh. About one third of the museum’s collection is related to pathology, anatomy and zoology. This includes models, skeletal remains, dried and fluid preserved specimens. The rest of the collections include phrenology, pharmacology, ethnography, forensics and anatomical and other artworks. The museum displays a number of unique objects including the skull of George Buchanan (tutor to James VI), a dissected body with the lymphatic system injected with mercury (1788) and the skeleton of notorious murderer William Burke (1829). In 2016 the Anatomical Museum was awarded ‘Accredited’ status by Museums Galleries Scotland.
