Abstract
The history of pathology can be traced to the earliest application of the scientific method to the field of medicine, a development which occurred in the Middle East during the Islamic Golden Age and in Western Europe during the Italian Renaissance. Early systematic human dissections were carried out by the Ancient Greek physicians Herophilus of Chalcedon and Erasistratus of Chios in the early part of the third century BC. The first physician known to have made postmortem dissections was the Arabian physician Avenzoar (1091–1161). Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) is generally recognized to be the father of microscopic pathology. Most early pathologists were also practicing physicians or surgeon In order to understand the diseases more correctly and to convey the knowledge from one generation to another they finally decide to preserve the samples and specimen , and there come the need of museum.Silverstone states that ‘museums are in many respects like other contemporary media. They entertain and inform; they tell stories and construct arguments; they aim to educate; they define, consciously or unconsciously; effectively, an agenda; they translate the otherwise unfamiliar and inaccessible information into the familiar and accessible. Even the small museums in addition to their educational value, play a part in recording the history of medicine, since the common diseases of today may well be the rarities of tomorrow. To fulfill such purpose it is essential that the original shape, color of the specimen should be retained. Relevant photographs, radiographs, presentation, labeling, cataloguing are of equal importance.
