The Greek moulages: a picture of skin diseases in former times

A-M Worm et al. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. 2007 Apr.

Abstract

Medical moulages are three-dimensional wax figures made for teaching in the beginning of the last century. A rather unknown hospital museum in Athens, Greece, stores 1660 moulages depicting skin and venereal diseases prevalent at that time such as syphilis, lepra and tuberculosis. The historical background behind the Greek moulages and the art of moulaging are described.
