Spotlight Exhibition

During the month of February in Special Collections we focus on anatomical illustration in Art of the Unseen: Anatomical Illustration in the Special Collections. From weighty ornate tomes to the textbooks utilised by the very first anatomy students on campus under the tutelage of professors Croker King, Cleland and Pye, this exhibition will look at anatomical representation from the 1600s through to the modern era.
