Museum of Human Disease

Dear all,

Some of you might be interested to know that there is an actual museum we can visit at the heart of the UNSW. Just found out this recently and thought I could share with you all. And to top it all it's FREE for students of UNSW. Normal charge would have been $10 per person. Can't comment much on it as I have not been there but it would be insightful to know how different diseases progesses.

Introduction

Between 3:00pm – 5:00pm each weekday visitors can explore this fascinating collection themselves or listen to a description of displayed specimens and disease processes with a specially designed audio tour.

Visitors are able to use a unique mp3 device with infra-red capabilities that enables them to hear descriptions of specific specimens and exhibits as they tour the Museum. Most recordings feature an expert member of the UNSW academic staff describing the macroscopic changes in the specimen and relating these to the cause, symptoms and treatment of the disorder.
