About

In the spring of 1970, Kawasaki Medical School opened.
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of Kawasaki medical school’s foundation, an educational museum of medicine was built in 1981 to facilitate the independent learning of medical and postgraduate students.
In this museum, the collected materials focus on the exposition of modern medicine rather than on historical materials. Students are able to instruct themselves by examining the exhibited specimens and to solidify their understanding. Practicing physicians are also welcome to visit the museum to further their medical education. It is also designed to propagate knowledge of medicine and health care to the general public.

About

The Warren Anatomical Museum is one of the last surviving anatomy and pathology museum collections in the United States. In 1847, Harvard anatomist and surgeon John Collins Warren founded the Museum to preserve and classify specimens and models needed for teaching. Until 1999, the Museum was in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology. It is now an integral part of the Countway Library’s Center for the History of Medicine.

No longer a brick and mortar museum, the collection lives on as teaching and research resource. Within the larger Center, it still manages Harvard’s historical anatomy and pathology collections. The Museum continues to grow and it collects the artifacts and history of the Harvard health science community. It’s mission is to inform contemporary medicine, the Harvard health community, and the public.
