The Musée d'Anatomie occupies the second floor of the Faculty of Medicine and is exactly the sort of museum that scares some visitors and delights others. The collection — much of it 19th-century — fills long galleries with anatomical preparations, deformed skeletons, wax models of internal organs, and several full écorchés (skinless figures) used for teaching surgical students.
The signature piece is a 19th-century plaster écorché holding a shovel, sometimes attributed to the studio of the sculptor Jacques-Eugène Caudron. It is not for the squeamish. Access has historically been restricted (the museum is part of a working teaching school), so check current opening conditions and book in advance.
