More From The James Moores Ball Collection, National Museum of Health and Medicine




I think I am in love with the James Moores Ball collection, held by the National Museum of Health and Medicine. This collection, slowly being revealed via the museum's unofficial blog A Repository for Bottled Monsters, just keeps getting better and better. I encourage you to click on the images above to view larger, more detailed versions. To view some other objects from this collection, visit this previous Morbid Anatomy post.

You can visit the source post here; you can also see photos of artifacts from the National Museum of Health and Medicine's collection in this post from earlier today.
