Intricate wax models of humans - and their internal organs - helped educate medical students during the 19th Century. But they also offered the general public an unusual afternoon's entertainment.
As the Wellcome Collection in central London tells the curious and grotesque story of the anatomical model - take a tour with curator Kate Forde.

Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre- 11.07.07

RUGenius was stumbling around (on stumble upon!) and came across this brilliant Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre by Wilhelm Staehle. My favorites are below…

Gotochi Dissection Animals - NOTCOT

This one goes out to all the carnivores, biologists, and butchers who read NOTCOT… i went by the opening at GR2 saturday night, and when i popped by the original Giant Robot store, i couldn’t help it but i totally had to buy two of these silly Gotochi Dissection Animals… See? I buy things sometimes not because i need or want them, but because i just really want to take a bunch of pictures to share with you. So after the jump you can see my full coffee table photoshoot of a tiny bull and tuna showing what i imagine to be the different edible anatomical portions of both - check out images of the packaging, and fun closeups of both… as well as all the other models GR has in store.
