Theater of the Body: A Renaissance of Human Anatomy presents an in-depth exploration into the historical origins of modern anatomy. The exhibit consists of digital reproductions of anatomical illustrations from the European Renaissance era, between the 14th and 17th centuries. The Renaissance witnessed a scientific revitalization in human anatomy, challenging traditional medical theories established more than a millenia prior.
Discover the ancient roots of anatomical knowledge, the controversial applications of dissection, the significant contributions of Eastern anatomists, and the technological advancements in anatomical illustration.
