Description
The important collection of anatomical wax models at Vienna's Josephinum has for centuries held a special fascination. The many photographs in this illustrated book celebrate the beauty of anatomy as well as the great craftsmanship with which these medical teaching aids were produced in the eighteenth century. Prominent authors relate the history of the Josephinum, of the unique collection and its art-historical significance, and present the Josephinum in the field of tension between its history and present-day importance as a vibrant exhibition space. QR codes in the book take readers to 3D views of the wax models. Christiane Druml is a lawyer and bioethicist. Since 2015, she has been director of the Josephinum and director of the Institute for Ethics, Collections and History of Medicine, as well as overseeing the UNESCO Chair in Bioethics at the Medical University of Vienna. She is Chair of the Bioethics Commission of the Austrian Federal Chancellery. From 2011 to 2015, she was Vice Rector for Clinical Matters of the Medical University of Vienna.
