NLM Dream Anatomy Exhibition (Audio Described Version)

The interior of our bodies is hidden to us. What happens beneath the skin is mysterious, fearful, amazing. This 2002 installation featured imaginative anatomical books from the National Library of Medicine’s extensive historical collections, along with the work of 20th- and 21st-century artists. The invention of the printing press in the 15th century-and the cascade of print technologies that followed-helped to inspire a new spectacular science of anatomy, and new spectacular visions of the body. Anatomical imagery proliferated, detailed and informative but also whimsical, surreal, beautiful, and grotesque-a dream anatomy that reveals as much about the outer world as it does the inner self.
