The museum Waldemarsudde is showing books and pictures from the treasuries of one of the world’s leading collections of historical medical books: Karolinska Institutet’s Hagströmer Library.
From Vesalius’s muscle mannequins to Lennart Nilsson’s photographs of the microcosmos. From whimsical 16th century bestiaries to original plates of injured soldiers from the American Civil War. From 8 of May to 29 of August Waldemarsudde and Karolinska Institutet are exhibiting medical illustrative art that has rarely, if ever, been on public display.
