Plastination is a method that has grown in popularity over time, used for the preparation of educational and exhibition samples. We have created many and various anatomical samples to be used in the education of our students in the plastination laboratory we have established since 2010. In this article, it is aimed to explain how our 10-year plastination collection was affected by the fire that broke out in our laboratory building in June 2020 and to bring this information to the literature.
