Siriraj Medical Museum

[4] The museum showcases the top killers of Thai people: heart disease, cancer, and different types of congenital anomalies along with proper treatment and preventive measures.

The museum displays the anatomical structure of all the systems of the human body, ranging from conception to reproductive age.

On display is a masterful dissection of the whole-body nervous and arterial system by Dr. Patai Sirikarun, the only exhibit of its kind in the world.

In 1960, Dr. Sood Sangvichien, a specialist in anatomy and anthropology, joined an excavating mission at the archaeological site at Chorakhe Phueak in Kanchanaburi Province.

The museum takes visitors back to prehistoric Thailand with the display of a Homo erectus skeleton known as "Lampang man" who lived approximately 1,000,000 to 400,000 years ago.

The exhibits include displays of skulls and various body parts in glass cases, many of them from murder victims, evidence that Dr. Songkran Niyomsan, a forensic pathologist, collected in the course of his career.

His body was removed from display, at the museum, following complaints by the residents of the Thap Sakae district where he and most of his victims had lived.

[12] They told the National Human Rights Commission that they wanted to give him a proper burial and complained that the display was undignified.
