Anatomy Day 2025 In-Person
The Countway Library's Center for the History of Medicine, including its Warren Anatomical Museum Collection, holds an extraordinary collection of rare books and artifacts testifying to the complex history of anatomy. On Thursday, December 11, we invite you to explore transformative anatomical atlases such as those by Vesalius (1543) and William Hunter (1774), learn about historical aids for anatomical education from many parts of the world, observe artifacts from Harvard’s 19th-century teaching collections, and discuss ethical transgressions in anatomy. Members of HMS faculty, along with archivists and museum specialists, will be at hand to discuss such exceptional books and artifacts with students and the greater Longwood community.
This is an excellent opportunity to see fascinating and instructive highlights from Harvard's medical history collections and learn more about Countway's resources and services.
No registration is required. We invite you to stop by and see the collections any time between 12:00 and 5:00.
Please note that a Harvard ID is required to enter the Countway Library.
