Musée Dupuytren

The Musée Dupuytren was a museum of wax anatomical items and specimens illustrating diseases and malformations.

In 2016 the museum was closed and moved to the Jussieu Campus, joining 8 scientific collections of Sorbonne University.

The museum began a slow decline starting in the late 19th century, despite continued acquisition of new collections, and its upkeep became problematic.

In 1937 Gustave Roussy ordered the museum shut, with many items subsequently lost or destroyed.

Today it still retains an extensive collection including specimens dating from the 17th century, as well as wax anatomical models, books, and photographs.
