MDMD(11): The Jenkin's Ear Museum

[Dave Monroe]

By the way, on anatomical museums, do see, e.g., ...

Altick, Richard D.  The Shows of London:
   A Panoramic History of Exhibitions, 1600-1862.
   Cambridge, MA: Harvard UP, 1978.

Pp. 27-8, 54-6; for anatomical waxworks, pp. 54-5,
339-42, 424.  And speaking of anatomical waxworks ...

von During, Monika, et al.  
   Encyclopedia Anatomica: A Complete Collection
   of Anatomical Waxes.  New York: Taschen, 1999.

Among many, many other fine works.  But this is by far
the best illustrated.  There is also a recently
released condensed version.  Be forewarned, though,
not for the faint of stomach ...
