The Bassett Collection:
“The Basset Collection, which now belongs to Stanford University’s School of Medicine, is the definitive dissection collection available to medical students and instructors. These incredibly detailed dissections show and label most every part of the human body, from its tiniest veins, arteries and nerves to serial cross-sections of the spinal cord.”

Anatomical Crucifixion (James Legg). Plaster cast, wooden cross. 1801
Royal Academy of Arts Collection: Object of the month August:
“This gruesome figure was cast from the corpse of a murderer, taken straight from the gallows to be nailed to a cross and flayed in order to settle an artistic debate. Three Royal Academicians – the sculptor Thomas Banks and painters Sir Benjamin West and Richard Cosway – conducted this experiment to prove their belief that most depictions of the Crucifixion were anatomically incorrect.”
