Manipal
Museum
of
Anatomy
&
Pathology
(MAP)
is
a
storehouse
of
knowledge.
The
specimens
have
been
there
for
close
to
40
years.
The
renovated
museum
with
its
new
magnificent
ambiance
will
be
an
added
attraction
for
hundreds
and
thousands
of
visitors.
Billed
as
one
of
the
largest
in
Asia,
the
museum
boasts
of
over
3,000
specimens
and
samples
of
things
anatomical,
including
the
skulls
of
an
elephant
and
a
whale,
and
the
long
skeleton
of
a
King
Cobra.
Dr.
SS
Godbole,
the
first
Anatomy
Professor
of
Kasturba
Medical
College,
had
a
passion
for
preservation.
His
techniques
of
careful
dissection,
processing,
and
mounting
anatomical
specimens
are
followed
even
today.
It
was
under
his
watch
that
the
museum
opened
its
doors
to
the
public
in
1954,
with
over
650
specimens
from
his
collection.
Revamped
and
renamed
as
the
Manipal
Museum
of
Anatomy
and
Pathology
in
November
2012,
the
sprawling
Anatomy
section
houses
well-preserved
specimens
of
the
human
body
from
head
to
toe,
and
everything
in
between.
A
section
on
comparative
anatomy
houses
the
skeletons
of
various
other
animals,
and
carefully
crafted
models
and
charts
augment
the
entire
experience.
The
Pathology
Museum,
which
displays
diseased
body
parts
and
organs,
has
a
popular
section
on
life-style
related
diseases,
and
their
impact
on
the
human
body.
Work
to
convert
it
into
a
digital
or
virtual
museum
is
completed.
The
museum
is
divided
into
two
main
sections:
Anatomy
and
Pathology.
The
anatomy
section
displays
specimens
of
normal
human
body
parts
and
organs
in
a
manner
that
makes
them
easy
to
understand.
Each
organ
system
of
the
human
body
can
be
explored
as
a
separate
entity.
Every
bit
of
the
body
is
displayed
from
head
to
toe
from
different
sections.
There
is
a
section
on
comparative
anatomy,
where
a
large
collection
of
animals,
their
skeleton,
and
bones
are
displayed.
The
museum
of
Pathology
displays
diseased
body
parts
and
organs.
The
section
on

related
diseases

specimens
of
diseases
that
occur
in
humans.
