Moulagenmuseum

The Moulagenmuseum in Zurich, Switzerland, displays three-dimensional wax replicas of diseased body parts that were produced in Zurich. The lifelike wax moulages today again serve as a teaching collection for medical students and document historical and rare disease patterns. The exhibition includes moulages of skin diseases and surgical conditions with understandable accompanying texts. The museum also presents changing special exhibitions and researches the preservation of the valuable wax objects with modern computer technology.
