An<unk>  was usually a room of roughly amphitheatrical shape, in the centre of which would stand a table on which the dissection of human or animal bodies took place. Around this table were several circular, elliptic or octagonal tiers with railings, steeply tiered so that observers (typically students) could stand and observe the dissection below, without spectators in the front-most rows blocking their view. It was common to display skeletons in some location within the<unk> . The first<unk> , the<unk>  of Padua, was built at the University of Padua in 1594, and has been preserved into the modern day. Other early examples include the of Leiden University, built in 1596 and reconstructed in 1988, and the<unk>  of the Archiginnasio in Bologna (whose building dates from 1563 and the<unk>  from 1637). The<unk>  in Gustavianum in Uppsala, built in 1663 The<unk>  of the University of Uppsala is well-known, having been completed in 1663 by medical profession and amateur architect Olaus Rudbeck (1630-1702). The<unk>  is housed in the idiosyncratic cupola constructed on the top of the Gustavianum building, one of the older buildings of the university. Rudbeck had spent time in the Dutch city of Leiden, and the construction of both the<unk>  and the botanical garden he founded in Uppsala in 1655 were influenced by his experiences there. The<unk>  is now preserved as part of the Gustavianum, now preserved as a museum for the general public under the name Museum Gustavianum. Thomas Jefferson built an<unk>  for the University of Virginia. It was completed in 1827, but demolished in 1939 after the construction of Alderman Library nearby.
