Moulage Museum
|
|
This collection of medical moulds dates back to 1917 and enjoys a worldwide reputation for the best preserved, most lifelike wax moulds. These wax moulds are three-dimensional models taken directly from the patient's body surface. They show all disease-related skin changes in relation to both color and structure. The museum, which is run by the University and the University Hospital, contains a teaching collection of skin disease moulds for academic purposes plus an exhibition aimed at explaining prevention and hygiene to the public, dealing with e.g. occupational diseases, skin cancer and sexually transmitted diseases.
