Death Under Glass Exhibition - Barts Pathology Museum
Past Events
Death Under Glass Exhibition - The Mutter Museum
Death Under Glass is an exhibition of photomicrographs,
or magnified images of human tissue, generated from
post-mortem. Although contemporary depictions of death
investigation remain popular, little or no worth is given to
the utility of histology in autopsy pathology.
Death Under Glass seeks both to educate viewers about
the role of microscopy in the practice of forensic pathology
and to allow visitors to appreciate histological images for
their brilliant colors and captivating cellular morphology.
Generated by a medical examiner and forensic
photographer, the exhibition offers a rare view
through the microscope to promote contextual '
understanding of histological analysis.
"Between Medical Collections and Their Audiences” (EAMHMS Congress, London, September 4th – 6th 2014)
Death Under Glass was pleased to presnt the following poster at the 2014 European Association of Museums of the History of Medical Sciences Congress (EAMHMS) biennial meeting in London from 4-6 September 2014.
EAMHMS is an active global network of curators, scholars & stakeholders with an interest in medical collections. The biennial Congress is a great opportunity to present research within a vibrant forum of debate and discussion, and promotes international exchange and collaboration amongst medical history museums. The Association, although nominally European, today attracts participation from around the world and is the leading international body of medical museums and collections.

Cell Mates
Exhibition dates June 2 - July 18, 2013
Curators Jeanne Brasile and Lisbeth Murray divided the 2,000 sq. ft. gallery in half, creating two separate exhibitions of artwork inspired by cellular forms. The curators seek art that addresses a wide range of topics related to cellular forms to create a discursive exploration into microorganisms and concerns derived from their study.
