Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology |
One of Australia's largest collections of human tissue, animal anatomy and historical anatomical models, the Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology at the University of Melbourne, is home to more than 12,000 specimens and artefacts.
Among the most well-known is Ned Kelly's death mask; a cast of his head taken immediately after he was hanged in 1880.
There are also specimens of lungs with tuberculosis, and a brain specimen of a young man from Melbourne, who was believed to have had syphilis and died in the 1920s of mercury poisoning.
