With the collaboration of Joanna Ebenstein, creative director in the Morbid Anatomy Museum from New York. The day will include a combined tour and visit to two museums with priceless jewels.
First, we will visit the Museum of Anatomy “Javier Puerta” where we will meet the director, Fermin Viejo. This collection is very important for its spectacular series of wax figures from the XVIII century, commissioned by the Royal College of Surgery (“Real Colegio de Cirugía de San Carlos”).
Later, we will continue the day at the Museum of Medical Anthropology, Forensics, and Forensic Paleopathology “Reverte Coma”, located in the same Faculty of Medicine. Guided by a specialist, we will discover the secrets of a true cabinet of curiosities created in the twentieth century. Among countless examples, we will see an impressive collection of Egyptian mummies, vestiges of evolutionary anthropology and ritual body modification.
Important notice: it is strictly forbidden to take pictures in both museums.
