    If you're interested in human anatomy, then this is the place to come. The various exhibits displayed show different aspects of the human body e.g. Veins/Arteries, Nerves, Organs and muscles. One of the bodies is disseted vertically from head to groin. Another body has been sliced in horizontal sections. There is a very interesting written piece on all the stages required to preserve the cadaver. You need to enter the university campus site from the "Henri Dunant Rd" once on site follow road right, then left and Museum is on 9th Floor of medical building.

    (Translated by Google) A small exposition (only two rooms) within the walls of a medical university. Overall, it impresses with its realism. I think its main goal is to study the human body in anatomy classes. You will see several real human bodies from different angles and in different sections. Admission is free, but you cannot take photos. But no one is following you. There is a donation box at the exit. (Original) Небольшая экспозиция (всего два зала) в стенах медицинского университета. В целом, производит сильное впечатление своей реалистичностью. Думаю, её основная цель - изучать человеческое тело на занятиях по анатомии. Вы увидите несколько реальных человеческих тел с разных ракурсов и в разных сечениях. Вход бесплатный, но нельзя делать фотографии. Но за вами никто не следит. На выходе есть ящик для пожертвований.

    The entrance took me a little while to find, but it’s not a big problem. The exhibition is on the 9th floor, you just have to sign your name, and the staff will lead you to the exhibition room. Unfortunately, photos and videos are prohibited. The details and informations of the human bodies are given clearly, but only in Thai and English.

    Fascinating, Informative and educational museum explaining the workings (and frailties) of the human body. Note: All exhibits on display are real bodies, donated to science at the wish of the deceased. - Not for the squeamish. Clear descriptions of all exhibits on display. How much does a human brain weigh? Pick one up, see for yourself! Want to give up smoking? See the damaging effects of smoking on the human lung - close up! A most sobering and introspective experience. Access via hospital grounds (not very well signposted). Length of visit about 1/2 hour. Admission free. Donations accepted.

    The Museum of Human Body is located on the university campus. Ask the security to show you throw. It is open to the public, and entry is free (donations are appreciated). The exhibition is fascinating: two rooms full of dehydrated (for lack of a better word) bodies, cut open to show their muscles, nervous systems, and whatever else you can see. Coming from Australia, I had never seen anything like it - we always see diagrams or models, not the real thing. I would recommend coming here if you are interested in anatomy, science, humans, or just want to have a look and see what we look like on the inside. There are signs in English and Thai, making it accessible for tourists.

    This is how the real museum should be. Absolutely free of charge. Not very big, but extremely fascinating. I really enjoyed it. I was surprised by the actual size of the human brain. And I like the fact that it's a medical university, so doctors can come and see how it looks in real life. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Алла �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cool place for those who want to understand the anatomy. The main thing is to be prepared that all the exhibits are “real” or that it is better for someone to remain in the dark - to perceive them as a good plastic copy. This museum made a great impression on me and became one of the brightest memories. (Original) Крутое место для тех кто хочет разобраться в анатомии. Главное быть готовым, что все экспонаты "реальные" или кому-то лучше остаться в неведении - воспринимать, как хорошую пластиковую копию. На меня этот музей произвел большое впечатление и стал одним из ярких воспоминаний.

    The location pin is correct. Located at 9th floor. Free entry. Interested show of human anatomy. Photo taking is not allowed. Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Grace W. 3 years ago on Google
    It was an educational visit. The bodies or parts on display are real which went through the plastination process (this itself was explained from the start). Though there are only two rooms, I spent less than an hour there reading the descriptions.

    This museum is inside the teaching hospital, so it can be a little hard to find. There is no photography permitted, to respect the specimens. There are many plastinated human specimens on display, showing different parts of the anatomy. Nerves, muscle, veins, organs, all have detailed displays. It can be a little intimidating to see the specimens but very educational.

    Very well curated University museum. The quality of the exposition reminds me of Body World, albeit on a smaller scale, but the entrance is free of charge. I am left wandering whether the respect to the exposed cadavers is adequately guaranteed, as photography is ostensibly not allowed, but it seems there are no surveillance systems. Overall, a great way to inveat one hour of your time.

  • 5/5 Chris S. 4 years ago on Google
    Quite cool exhibition! It’s clearly addressed to medical students, hence there’s mainly some practical medical information/explanation in both Thai and English and not so much show like the exhibitions of Gunter von Hagen and such. But hey, it’s free and you’re probably going to be the only guest in there 😉 The entrance is easy to find if you use Google Maps or any Openstreetmap.

    many specimens, great place to look around. During our visit the audio guide was out of service. Almost everything described in thai, so you can only look at the exhibition mindlessly basically.

    (Translated by Google) The entrance was a bit hard to find. I put it for free. Do not shoot in the building. It is not so wide. It takes about 10 minutes to go around. (Original) 入口はちょっと探しづらいでした。無料で入れます。館内は撮影禁止です。そんなに広くは無いです。10分ぐらいあれば回れます。

  • 4/5 丹羽克裕 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is appreciated that it is free of charge, but is it a humanistic way to put together a chain in a dry brain area and try to experience the weight! It is not good to be stupid. Because this is Bangkok (Original) 無料なのはありがたいが、乾燥した脳みそにチェーンをつけて「重さを体感してみよう!」という企画は人倫的にいかがなものか?と無粋なことはいいません。なんせここはバンコクですから

    I went along November 2016. Located within "Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University คณะทันตแพทยศาสตร์ จุฬาฯ" You go upto the 9th floor then sign the visitors book. No charge and you can wander around looking at all the body parts. I found it to be very intresting and you can learn more about the human body. Not for those with a weak stomach I would say.

  • 5/5 Mahbubul I. 6 years ago on Google
    Great place to know about anatomy of human body. As per information, these 14 dissected human bodies are from Japan. It is located inside the Faculty of Dentistry building at level-9 of the medical university of Chulalongkorn. I am not sure they charge any money or not as I was not asked for any. But I think due to that day there was some big Indian doctor visited/visiting and they thought I am also one of them. But when I visited, there was not any visitor.

  • 5/5 Kath S. 4 years ago on Google
    No photo zone. Upon entering the main gate you have to stay on your right til you reach the middle part building at the back. Google map is accurate. museum is on the 9th floor. head to the elevator and alight carefully. Museum is on the right side. no fees to pay but be generous enough to leave a tip as they have kept the museum very neat and all specimen well preserved. Very educational and freaky at the same time. Good for highschool students and above. not sure if small kids are okay to see it because they might dream of it, i dunno. lol

    A must place to visit if you love human anatomy. You get to see the human organs and human body system. To go there take the exit 6 from Siam BTS station follow the google map to Museum of Human Body at level 9th in Chulalongkorn University.

  • 5/5 Kastan Y. 3 months ago on Google • 30 reviews New
    I have never regarded myself as the squeamish type, as I have zero problem watching gore horror movies while savoring a serving of steak.. but boy, was I wrong. Real human bodies are far more frightening than movie props, and thinking that they were once living human being like us but now flayed and displayed in pieces in front of strangers. All being said, it's highly recommended for those who have stomach of steel and interest in human anatomy.

  • 5/5 Nhựt Hào H. 5 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    The entrance was free, but you can give donation if you want. Although the area was quite small, the display of human bodies was very interesting. I was scared as much as I was amazed that they were real human bodies. Highly recommend paying a visit here.

  • 5/5 Sheena M. 9 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    It’s located on the property of the University. Completely free. Donations are appreciated. Great set up in two room. It’s very fascinating. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 S T. 5 years ago on Google
    Worth a visit if you are in the area. It's only 2 small rooms so you should be done in less than 1h unless you're a medicine student. Free entry, donations welcomed in the donation box. There are signs that say no photos and no touching allowed. It's fascinating to see these exhibits. My favourites are these ones from the 2nd room: 1. Human body slices - imagine your body cut up into slices (it looks just like steak :p) 2. Bodies of babies from 4th to 10th month - you can see how their little bodies grow bigger, and the hair. 3. Lift up and feel the weight of the brain - I don't know if it's a real brain but it's heavier than I thought.

  • 5/5 Joshua T. 4 years ago on Google
    Although only 2 rooms, the exhibits are quite engaging. You can spend quite a bit of time analysing the anatomy and description. Very educational.

  • 5/5 Lea M. 1 year ago on Google
    Free entry but you can leave a donation. Very interesting displays taking you through the whole anatomy of the human body, definitely worth spending 45 minutes taking it all in.

  • 5/5 James O. 1 year ago on Google
