Artificial Anatomy highlights the National Museum of American History’s varied collection of papier-mache anatomical models of human, veterinary and botanical specimens and provides additional in-depth information not included in the original three-dimensional exhibition. The exhibit showcases two major themes. It explores the history and use of papier-mache anatomical models, and, then focuses on their construction, conservation, and preservation. Additionally, there is an interactive game for assigning body parts to Jerome, the turnable anatomical man.
