Visit overview

Filippo Civinini Museum of Human Anatomy's permanent museum is closed for renovation. A separately advertised off-site exhibition is not the same visitor venue, so do not use its dates or hours as the museum's normal schedule.

Entry notes

The main Human Anatomy Museum at Via Roma 55 is closed for restoration. Selected material can be visited only in the guided, reservation-only Body Secrets exhibition at Cittadella Galileiana; book through the museum email, verify the Tuesday/Thursday/Friday 09:00–12:00 schedule and check the published date-specific closures before travelling.

Best time to visit

Plan a visit only after the University of Pisa publishes a reopening date and permanent-museum schedule.

Crowd tips

No crowd guidance applies while the permanent museum is closed.

Visit highlights

After reopening, confirm which anatomical, archaeological and medical teaching collections are accessible at the permanent museum rather than assuming an off-site display represents the full collection.
