Adopt-a-Specimen Initiative

More than 1,900 historic anatomic and pathological surgical wet, dry and wax specimens are in danger of deterioration if not carefully maintained. The earliest specimens date from 1897 and the bulk of the collection dates to the 1930s, and were prepared by UTMB's former faculty and students. These specimens along with the vast medical memorabilia collections will form the nucleus of the future medical museum at Old Red.
