A Comprehensive Study on Museum Based- Anatomy Learning
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Anatomy education has traditionally relied on cadaveric dissection and informative lectures. Although effective, these methods may be limited by ethical concerns, cost, availability of cadavers, and reduced interactivity. Museum-based learning (MBL) has emerged as an alternative and complementary educational strategy that integrates visual, tactile, and contextual experiences. Anatomy museums provide preserved specimens, models, charts, embryological and pathological samples that promote experiential learning. Unlike conventional classroom teaching, MBL encourages observation, analysis, comparison, and critical thinking, thereby improving clinical correlation and spatial understanding. This review explores the concept, historical development, components, and educational significance of museum-based learning in anatomy.
