Anatomy Exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland

This full-size model of the human body was created by the workshop of Dr Louis Auxouz in the middle of the 19th century in France. It was made 'dissectable' to aid medical/ anatomical teaching at a time when cadaveric experience was minimal. It has almost 100 individual parts, made of a proprietary papier machê mix. It is believed to be the only such model in Scotland, and one of only a handful remaining worldwide. We are very pleased to loan this piece to the national Museum of Scotland, and to see it as one of the centerpieces of the 'A Matter of Death and Life' exhibition.
