YESTERDAY'S METHOD OF LEARNING ABOUT ANATOMY

AND TODAY: More than 1,000 visitors came to see human corpses encased in silicone at the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa, Florida. The exhibit has 20 cadavers and 260 body parts on display. Most of the male and female corpses are presented in athletic poses. Nearly all the bodies and body parts are stripped of flesh so that internal organs, tissue, muscles, veins and bones are exposed. (The picture above shows students witnessing a demonstration with 3 cadavers and a skeleton; circa: 1910).
