Anatomy Acts is the largest touring exhibition of its kind ever undertaken in Scotland. All the objects in the exhibition come from Scottish collections and span more than 500 years of creative development. Made by professional artists, anatomists and technicians, from Europe and beyond, most have been created as tools for medical teaching or diagnosis and many are still in use today. They represent where the worlds of art and science meet and where ideas are exchanged.
The objects have been selected from medical museums, university teaching, archive and library departments, as well as fine art collections, and health boards and many have never been on public display before.
