Abstract

 Background: Adding color to specimen presented in anatomical museum is a vital requisite to distinguish various structures as arteries, veins, nerves, muscles, ligaments, tendons etc. Here tactile discrimination is impossible for preservative fixed specimens sealed in jars. Besides the use of various coloring agents, protocols are developed for the color restoration with maximal long-lasting efficacy with instance, age and cost-effectiveness. Method: In our department we developed a protocol for coloring using readily available acrylic colors to color various regions and structures of anatomical specimen for visual enhancement. The specimens were than suspended in Kaiserling (I and II) preservative and stored in Perspex containers. Result: Institutional experience of handling specimen by preservation and imparting with readily available colors remain unchanged and displayed wet-specimen to their optimal elegance. Conclusion: This simple and easy method of coloring of specimen and the developed protocol for its longer restoration is immensely important in crafting a museum.
