Couldn’t I learn just as much from books or models of the human anatomy?
The unique use of authentic specimens shows the details of disease, physiology and anatomy in a way that cannot be shown with models, textbooks or photos. In addition, the exhibit allows guests to understand that each and every body has its own unique features, even on the inside. We have also learned with our Anatomical Sections and Prenatal Development exhibits that guests are drawn to real specimens in a way that they are not to plastic models.
