Step into the hallowed halls of anatomical theaters, where the reward of cruelty meets the pursuit of knowledge. Witness the intricate dance of human dissection in historic masterpieces like "The Reward of Cruelty" (1751) and "The Anatomy Lesson" by Rembrandt (1656). Delve into the rich history of these hallowed spaces, from the manuscript of Al-Tasrif (The Method of Medicine) by Abulcasis (ca 1213-1223) to Leopoldo Pollack's Scarpa lecture hall (1751-1806). Marvel at the precision of surgical instruments and the profound theories of consciousness, as depicted in an anonymous work from De corpore et anima (From: On the Body and the Soul). Join the anatomical journey of Dr. Frederik Ruysch (1670) and Dr. Jan Deijman (1656), and retrace the footsteps of early medical pioneers in Padua, Italy (1483).
