Draped forms, anatomical shapes, and clusters of fungi disrupt the Victorian Parlour in an installation inspired by 19th-century anatomist Dr Louis Auzoux. Auzoux’s meticulously detailed papier-mâché models helped transform scientific education, combining accuracy with accessibility. His models can be taken apart into labelled sections for the study of human anatomy, animals, and plants.
