One of the medical wallcharts used for medical education at the predecessor school of Kanazawa University School of Medicine. This item depicts a woman suffering from a skin disease from the neck down. The original drawing is probably ‘Danielssen, D.C., Boeck, Wilhelm “Traité de la Spédalskhed ou Éléphantiasis des Grecs” J.B. Bailliére, Paris, 1848’. Daniel Cornelius Danielssen was a Norwegian who is known as “the father of leprology”. It is presumed that this item is a copy of one of Danielsen's dermatological diagrams by the Western painter YAMADA Nariaki, who then made it into a multi-plate, multi-color lithograph.

Established in 1989 to preserve and utilize valuable materials handed down from the predecessor school when the university campus was relocated from Kanazawa Castle Site. Former teaching materials such as beautifully shaped physics experiment apparatus and mushroom moulage specimens that allow you to observe mushrooms as they were 100 years ago are fun-to-see natural museum materials in the museum's collection. The museum also holds many archive such as timetables that show the hard work of medical students 100 years ago, as well as archaeological materials excavated within the campus.
