These models, originating from the late 19th or early 20th century, were made by craftsman Franz Josef Steger (1845-1938) and anatomist Carl Ernst Bock (1809-1874) at the University of Leipzig in Germany. Models of this type were used all over Europe in anatomical teaching and could be ordered from a trade catalogue, demonstrating the commercialisation of anatomical model making.     Although texture information is available for this model, MyMiniFactory doesn't support this just yet.

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).
