About Surgeons’ Hall Museums
The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh was founded in 1505, with the Surgeons Hall Museums’ collections growing from 1699 after ‘natural and artificial curiosities’ were publically sought. In the 1800s, the Museums expanded to include the remarkable collections of Sir Charles Bell and John Barclay. Initially established as a medical teaching resource, access for all is now a priority and visitors can explore The Wohl Pathology Museum, The History of Surgery Museum and The Dental Collection.

Hi. I’m trying to contact The Anatomy Lab to ask about using the sketched image of Burke’s hanging. Do you own the rights or can you tell me who you licensed the image from? It’s for use in a city tour project. Many thanks. Alan

Hello, I really love The caul in your collection and would like to ask if it is possible to use the image. I am writing about the technique of drying the amniotic sack as a unique reminder of the time in the womb. It would be Wonderfull to say – look, there is a history of use like that. Thank you in advance for your replay. With best regards Zuzana Laubmann from Germany
