Anatomy museum and lecture theatre is worth a visit on Edinburgh Doors open day this weekend This magnificent steeply-raked lecture theatre, based on that at Padua and still in use, was designed by Robert Rowand Anderson in 1877. The remnants of what was once a three-storey medical museum are now located on the top floor, where historical and contemporary material used by anatomy students is displayed. You will also find elephant skeletons, a whale’s jawbone and a large collection of death masks of historical figures. Also on display is the skeleton of the infamous murderer William Burke who was condemned to be hanged, dissected and put on public display. There will be 20-minute talks on the hour from 11am-3pm. ow.ly/BR6Dt
