Departmental museum is considered as one of the best in northern India that holds wet and dry specimens of human body, embryology, sectional anatomy, and separate section of CT, MRI and X-ray films. Mummified male and female bodies are displayed. The department is among the few in the country which allows public to view the museum and also encourages school children to visit and get deep insights into the human body.

The department is proud to have a cadaveric skill lab with four work stations with C-Arms facilities. This facility is used for upgrading the practical and surgical skills of various specialities. This skill lab has a walk-in cold storage maintaining a temperature of -21o to store the bodies.

We promote human body donations through public awareness programs, and also, provide dead body embalming facility. The department has a well-equipped histology lab for students and holds more than six thousand slides for teaching.
