We've just launched a new museum trail! Use it to discover objects from dolls to paintings to preserved human remains, all reflecting the how the human body has been used and represented in medicine. #histmed #RCPUnderTheSkin https://t.co/cXYuoorPsX
We’re not going for the sympathy vote, honest, but we’ll just point out that it was our pumpkin-sculptor’s first ever effort. Source material came from MacEwen’s Head sections, 1893, Hirschfeld’s Nevrologie, 1853, and Valverde’s Anatomia, 1560. #RCPUnderTheSkin #RCNPumpkinComp
