The University of Montpellier houses substantial collections related to its research and teaching functions in numerous scientific fields: paleontology, mineralogy, zoology, physics, astronomy, botany, pharmacy, ethnology, and anatomy. This article will present the issues surrounding anatomical collections in the University of Montpellier Faculty of Medicine.
