The Institute of Anatomy of Paris, otherwise known as the Delmas-Orfila-Rouvière Museum (and sometimes shortened to Orfila Museum), is the largest anatomical museum in France. It contains, among other treasures, the remains of executed criminals from the 18th-20th centuries. Once included in the holdings was the mummified head of famous spy Mata Hari, but that apparently disappeared when the Museum changed locations. 

When I was in Paris recently, I decided to stop by and see for myself. The museum itself is not easy to find on the eighth floor of the Faculté de Médecine on the Rue des Saints-Pères in Paris (Left Bank, off Blvd. St. Germain). It's also not easy to visit. These days it seems to be open only on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons by appointment. But it is worth a little planning.

Even a brief visit on a day that the museum is closed will take you to the 8th floor vestibule where a few display cases offer an interesting glimpse into what the museum offers. Shown below are "Les Hommes en Blanc," three naturally mummified bodies that were discovered around 1840 in a Paris apartment.
