The Anatomical Museum of Edinburgh was founded and developed by the Monro dynasty, the museum flourished under Sir William Turner who was both Professor of Anatomy from 1867 to 1903 and Principal of the University from 1903 to 1917. Today, the museum houses new items and old exhibits from the original museum including life and death masks, anatomy teaching models and the skeleton of notorious murderer William Burke.
At other times the museum is a study space for medical students and there is no visitor access.
