About Edinburgh Anatomical Museum
Take a virtual tour of Edinburgh Anatomical Museum.
The Edinburgh Anatomical Museum was built with a glazed roof, which allowed natural light to illuminate the objects from above. There are around 800 objects currently on display in the museum, although a recent inventory project, lists the total number of objects and specimens in the entire collection as nearer 12,000. Due to the lack of environmental control in this Victorian building, many of the collections that are more susceptible to light or heat damage are not on open display. While collections of this size are relatively normal in Museums of Pathology, it is unusual for an Anatomical collection, which is historically handled by both staff and students, to survive on this scale.

However, it's not very user friendly. Unless I'm blind, I cannot see any instructions. There is nothing to say you should tap on each section of the museum. Zooming in and out of the masks, skulls etc, is slow, could be my phone. Prepare yourself for a 460mb download. Good job, needs improvement. Visually, it is stunning.

Thought by what people were saying in the comments, it was going to be like a museum piece and be a dodo. I like it and think we need more apps like this one, I used apps like this by using VR but this is the closest you'll get to that sensation of virtual reality.
