The Picture Collection was established by Max Neuburger, who, from 1906 onwards, collected and recorded photographs, paintings, watercolours etc. on various topics relating to the history of medicine. Over the years, this archive grew through gifts, inheritances and permanent loans to include over 60,000 items. Of particular note are the late 18th century watercolours and descriptions of the wax models at the Josephinum, and the watercolours that served as a model for Ferdinand Hebra’s Atlas der Hautkrankheiten (Atlas of Skin Diseases).
