Description

This free exhibition explores the changing meaning of skin from the 1500s to the present day – from flaying and tattooing to prosthetics and skin sculptures. Bringing together artefacts spanning scientific illustrations, early-modern rare books, medicines, wax models, prostheses and sculptures by Edinburgh-based artist Jessica Harrison, this exhibition uncovers the social, cultural and medical history of skin.
