Product Information
In the first comprehensive study of nineteenth-century medical museums, Morbid Curiosities traces the afterlives of diseased body parts. It asks how they came to be in museums, what happened to them there, and who used them. This book is concerned with the macabre work of pathologists as they dismembered corpses and preserved them: transforming bodies into material culture. The fragmented body parts followed complex paths - harvested from hospital wards, given to one of many prestigious institutions, or dispersed at auction. Human remains acquired new meanings as they were exchanged and were then reintegrated into museums as physical maps of disease. On shelves curators juxtaposed organic remains with paintings, photographs, and models, and rendered them legible with extensive catalogues that were intended to standardize the museum experience. And yet visitors refused to be policed, responding equally with wonder and disgust. Morbid Curiosities is a history of the material culture of medical knowledge in the age of museums.

Reviews
so this is a provocative, well researched, and elegantly written book. [Alberti] has reconstructed a persuasive history of the changing contexts of practices, meaning, and function of medical museums. This book nicely crosses disciplinary boundaries and will appeal to museologists, medical historians, anthropologists, art historians, and museum professionals., "As both a museum professional and a historian, Samuel J. M. M. Alberti is excellently placed to write Morbid Curiosities, a well-researched and engaging contribution to this growing field centered on nineteenth-century medical museums in Britain...Morbid Curiosities provides new insights into the material culture of medical knowledge through its primary focus on human body parts as specimens and artifacts...[T]his study provides a valuable contribution into what deserves to be a fruitful avenue of future research into the material culture of medical knowledge."--The Historian "This highly readable work about a seemingly niche topic provides historical context for contemporary debates about cultural phenomena as it clarifies how the various meanings attached to human remains in the medical marketplace are always culturally contingent."--Canadian Bulletin of Medical History "Samuel J.M.M. Alberti's informative and meticulously referenced book takes the reader on a comprehensive tou of the world of the nineteenth-century medical museum...an excellent and wide-ranging treatment of the subject."--Victorian Studies, a welcome and original addition to the scholarship on natural and medical history ... consistently engaging and accessible, "As both a museum professional and a historian, Samuel J.
