The staff at the Melbourne Museum do an excellent job with the displays, G. It’s a marvellous place to spend a day π Reply
Yes, great interpretation. Either we are very complicated, or this fellow needs a new set of gloves, or both. (Oh, sorry) Reply
Haha – yes! π Quite confronting to see a human hand like this. Everything loses the colour of life in death. Reply
Actually, a very ancient sculpture that has been repeated billions of times, Adee. It is the hand of a real human who donated their body to science. http://museumvictoria.com.au/discoverycentre/infosheets/exhibiting-body-parts-in-the-mind-and-body-gallery/ Reply
Thanks, Benedicte. Those “wires” are preserved ligaments and veins – http://museumvictoria.com.au/discoverycentre/infosheets/exhibiting-body-parts-in-the-mind-and-body-gallery/ Reply
