For nearly 1500 years the study of anatomy remained unchanged, until a pivotal moment in time during the 16th century, when the fabric of the human body was revealed. This is the focus of a new exhibit on display in the Domenici Center for Health Sciences Education Auditorium Lobby, October 15 - May 29. The exhibit is open to the public Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM.

Along with the exhibit, the Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center is hosting a noontime lecture and reception. David Bennahum, MD, Professor Emeritus of Medicine will give a presentation entitled “The Importance of Renaissance Anatomy to Medicine and War,” October 22, 12:00-1:00 PM, Domenici Center for Health Sciences Education room 2112, with a reception following from 1:00-1:45 PM. Please call 272-6518 for details.
