Musée Dupuytren is a museum of anatomical items illustrating diseases and malformations. It is located at 15, rue de l'Ecole de Médecine, Les Cordeliers, Paris, France, and open weekdays except holidays and university vacations.

The museum was established in 1835 by Mathieu Orfila as the Museum of Pathological Anatomy of the Medicine Faculty of the University of Paris, with the bequest of Baron Guillaume Dupuytren, anatomist and celebrated professor of surgery. The museum was installed in the old refectory of the Cordeliers Convent, gathering collections from throughout the faculty. Its first catalog was compiled between 1836 and 1842, and listed about a thousand specimens. By the late 1870s the museum contained over six thousand pieces.

The museum began a slow decline, however, from later 1800s despite continued acquisition of new collections, and its upkeep became problematic. In 1937 Gustave Roussy ordered the museum shut, with many items subsequently lost or destroyed. However in 1967 Jacques Delarue (1901-1971) brought the museum back to life with a general refurbishment. Today it still retains a superb collection, including specimens dating from the 17th century, as well as wax anatomical models, books, and photographs.

Among many other notable items, the museum contains brains of aphasic patients, preserved in alcohol by the celebrated anatomist Paul Pierre Broca, and used in his research in the localization of brain functions.

  • From a medical students point of view, i find this video interesting. The music is inappropriate however as it plays off the museum as being creepy as opposed to what it is which is a wealth of knowledge

  • are all these collection sculpturs or real? looks pretty disturbing.

  • No es una película de horror, ni parecido, es un Museo, lo explicas muy bien en la reseña, realmente no entiendo el por qué de la música, "Cantos Profanae" opino que está totalmente fuera de lugar.

  • A voir un jour ..

  • @ohayaoist123 No some are fake but those inside the liquid glass are real the substance inside the glass keeps them from not rotting!

  • How much is it for the siamese foetus? It would look gorgeous above my fireplace!

  • @MsXxDaisyx It is formaldehyde, it preserves tissue.
