CONTENTS
Wilson Museum
The prosections in the Wilson Museum of Human Anatomy are of high quality and in many instances, show structures not clearly displayed in tutorial room specimens. Prosections by some of Australia's eminent surgeons and physicians can be found in the museum, dating back to those of Dr D.H.S. Lightoller, 1908, SC1.111.

How to find Museum Specimens
Example: 123.1134
- The numbers before the period refer to the unique pot number
The first two digits after the period refer to the bay number. - The third number refers to the shelf in the bay, numbered from the top.
- The last number refers to the pot number on the shelf, starting from the left.
- For the example Pot 123 is located in bay 11, on shelf 3 and is the
4th pot on that shelf. - When you have found the position of the pot, check the number marked on the pot to see you have the correct specimen.
- If you cannot find a particular pot, please contact the Curator it may be under repair or in storage.
