Description: | The Anatomy Museum's collection of wax, papier-mché and ceramic historical anatomical models, date from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. Included in the collection are examples of the major model makers of the time, including Louis Auzoux (1797 - 1880) of France, Ziegler Studios of Leipzig in Germany, Bock Lips Steger of Germany and Joseph Towne (1808 - 1879) of London. A particularly rare example in the collection is a life-sized papier-mché model of a man dating from 1879, made by Auzoux, which can break down into 92 individual pieces. This model has recently undergone cleaning and conservation in the Marischal museum conservation lab. Access to, and display of, parts of the collection is restricted by the Anatomy Act (1984) as amended by the Human Tissue (Scotland) Act 2006.
