RSU Anatomy Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on Kronvalda Boulevard, the RSU Anatomy Museum feels like stepping into a medical scholar's private cabinet of curiosities. It's a place that has grown quietly for over a century, its collection shaped by the hands of generations of doctors and students at what is now Rīga Stradiņš University. You'll find more than just bones here; it's a profound exploration of the human form, preserved with an almost reverent precision. The air carries a faint, clean scent of preservatives, and the quiet hum of concentration makes it feel less like a museum and more like an active place of study.
Collection Highlights
The fetal development exhibit, with its rows of delicate specimens, tells a silent story of human beginnings. Don't miss the cross-sections of a human head, sliced so thinly they look like anatomical illustrations come to life. The collection of skulls reveals the subtle architecture that makes every face unique.
Visitor Information
