University of Missouri: No Bones About It: An exhibit of spooky skeletons. “You’ll get a chance to look at works like Andreas Vesalius’s De humani corporis fabrica libri septim (Of the construction of the human body in seven books), where you’ll be able to see how the human body works as Vesalius takes you through the bones of the human body in great detail, and Philip-Étienne Lafosse’s Cours d’hippiatrique (Lesson in hippiatry) which displays the anatomy of horses in great detail.
