The Warren Anatomical Museum collection is one of the last surviving anatomy and pathology museum collections associated with a medical school in the United States. No longer a brick and mortar museum, the collection lives on as a teaching and research resource. Within the larger Center for the History of Medicine, the collection serves to inform contemporary medicine, the Harvard health community, and the public.
The Warren Anatomical Museum is one of the last surviving anatomy and pathology museum collections in the United States. In 1847, Harvard anatomist and surgeon John Collins Warren founded the Museum to preserve and classify specimens and models needed for teaching. Until 1999, the Museum was in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology. It is now an integral part of the Countway Library's Center for the History of Medicine.
