The Anatomy Museum School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, was established in 1994 and has been officiated by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Dato’ Ishak Tamby Kecik. Since then, the museum has been a center for students to learn anatomy.
The renovation of the Anatomy Museum in 2013–2015 transformed an old museum setup into a creative and flexible space well suited for a wide range of activities, from teaching to a programme of student events.
Subject to availability, the Anatomy Museum may be booked by internal and external users. The museum is open to students on the Health Campus during office hours only (8.30 a.m.–12.30 p.m. and 2.30 p.m.–4.30 p.m.) from Sunday to Wednesday and until 4 p.m. on Thursday.
While not usually open to the general public, there are opportunities throughout the year for various groups to visit the museum through official requests.
The items displayed in the museum include plastinated specimens, specimens in jars, plastic models, and posters/diagrams. The items displayed are also used for student learning activities.
There are also two computers and two microscopes placed in the museum for teaching and learning activities.
