Tomorrow night I will be giving a VERY brief introduction to the world of medical museums as part of a death themed series of lectures at Brooklyn's Union Hall, curated by Adult Education. The lecture will be lavishly illustrated with photographs of medical museums front and back-stage (as seen above) that I have collected over the past 5 years, some from the Anatomical Theatre series and some from later explorations.
Hope to see you there! Full information and line-up here. More on Anatomical Theatre here.

Hi! What is the story relating to the fetal skeletons, topmost photo? What set can I find it in your Flickr set?
It is AMAZING!
Thank you!
Hi Riko
It was in this exhibition: http://morbidanatomy.blogspot.com/2009/05/review-in-english-of-figures-du-corps.html
And lives at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. I saw and photographed it there.
You can buy the catalog (which is SERIOUSLY incredible and has a photo of this tableax) here: http://www.dessinoriginal.com/1946-figures-du-corps-9782840562696.html&ac=KEQHGT
