Did you guys know there was an H.R. Giger museum in the city of Gruyères, Switzerland?

The Museum’s interior was designed entirely by Giger himself. His oeuvre is available for view, including paintings, drawings, even furniture There’s also a Skeleton Bar, which has a ceiling is like the inside of a ribcage, with vertebrae twisting along the vaulted ceiling.

Frank H. Netter (1906-1991)

Netter is the Norman Rockwell of Medical Illustration.

“Dr. Netter’s contribution to the study of human anatomy is epochal. He has advanced our understanding of anatomy more than any other medical illustrator since the 16th century, when Vesalius introduced drawings based on cadaveric dissections.” - Dr Michael Debakey

Unlike most sterile medical illustration, Netter aimed to include the human element in his pictures. His characters are real, they cry and they sweat and show emotion through the blood and disfigurement. Netter was as much about the psychology of the human condition as he was about accurate anatomy.
