One of the medical wallchart used for medical education at the predecessor school of Kanazawa University School of Medicine. This item depicts the veins running down the right leg, detailed in blue and vividly printed as a multi-plate, multi-color lithograph. The name “Braune'' in the item’s title refers to Christian Wilhelm Braune (1831-1892), an anatomist at the Leipzig University. He is said to be the inventor of the frozen-cut diagram, which involves cutting frozen corpses and copying the cross-sections onto paper to create lithographs.

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.
