Werther's collection of medical moulages

Uwe Wollina et al. Wien Med Wochenschr. 2017 Oct.

Abstract

Moulages are individualized wax models that were very popular as teaching aids in medicine during the 19th and until the first half of the 20th century. After a period of decline, moulages have become a subject of interest again in more recent times since they represent unique artifacts of art, craftsmanship, and medical history. Werther's collection at Dresden-Friedrichstadt Hospital was one of the most important in Dresden-the capital of Saxony-during the period before World War II. Some relicts have survived and have been restored.
