⁂ Opening in London in 1851, Dr. Joseph Kahn's Anatomical and Pathological Museum was one of the 19th century's best-known and most visited public museums of anatomy, composed partly of wax models, and partly of specimens preserved in wax. Kahn’s business was lucrative but dogged by scandal over the obscene nature of his specimens.
