Old Anatomical Theatre

  Lossi 38     11 Apr 2024

The Old Anatomical Theatre is an impressive piece of neo-classical architecture. It was built by architect J. W. Krause in 1803-05, and was used as an anatomical theatre until 1999. While closed to the public, it is possible to enquire about visiting the premises from University of Tartu Museum. However, the university's collection of decently creepy, formaldehyde-preserved ‘bodies and parts’ that the theatre used to house are on display at the Science Centre AHHAA.
