If you’re a fan of TV medical or detective shows, a new exhibit of Brenau University may pique your interest for the inner workings of the human body. An exhibit of photographs by historian Joanna Ebenstein depicting artifacts from medical museums around the world opens tonight (Feb. 21), with an opening reception set for 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the Castelli Gallery of the John S. Burd Center for the Performing Arts. “Anatomical Theatre: Depictions of the Body Disease and Death in Medical Museums of the Western World,” includes various images of artifacts, including wax models, skeletal and human remains, that were used to teach medical and surgical students when use of cadavers was both expensive or illegal.
