Museum Bleulandinum: anatomy as a study collection

The Anatomisch Museum Bleulandinum in Utrecht contains historical anatomical specimens and models. The museum in the Stratenum can be visited by appointment only.

Plan your visit ↗

Studying a body

Anatomical specimens were made to examine and demonstrate the structure of the body. Look at them with attention to their function as objects of study. During a guided tour, ask how a specimen is used to make something visible or understandable.

Models alongside specimens

Wax models and other forms of anatomical presentation complement the collection. A model is a different way of explaining from a preserved specimen. By looking at them side by side, you can ask questions about what each medium shows.

A visit arranged with a purpose

Make an appointment through the Anatomy secretariat and allow for preparation time for guided tours. The Stratenum is on Universiteitsweg. The Bleulandkabinet in the Universiteitsmuseum is a different display and does not give access to this museum location.

Before you go

Visits by appointment only; request a guided tour at least a week in advance.
