商品の説明
内容説明
With a particular interest in anthropology and the history of medicine, and with ambitions to create a 'Museum of Man', Henry Wellcome (1853 - 1936) built up one of the world's largest but least known museum collections: it has been estimated that in 1930 it was some five times the size of the Louvre. Now scattered among numerous institutions and studied in a wide range of disciplines, the collection spans centuries and continents, and includes both the beautiful and the banal. This book will explore its contribution to contemporary understandings of health and wellbeing, providing along the way an intriguing insight into the history of collecting. Following an introduction to Wellcome and his 'phantom museum', seven lively, personal and thought-provoking essays by experts in each of the fields represented will use different corners of his collection to make connections with contemporary issues and to show how meaning is created from the stuff of the past. Designed to convey the astonishing scale and breathtaking range of subject-matter encompassed by the collection, Medicine Man will be a visual and intellectual feast.

Great Photographic Collection
2011/9/27
形式:ペーパーバック
I cannot say how many times I have looked through this book. I was lucky enough to see a museum exhibit of Henry Wellcome's collection at a museum in London and I bought this book there. It is a great collection of photos and some essays cataloging some of the most interesting items in the collection. I never get bored of skimming through this book, now 8 years later. There are great color photographs. I kind of wish there was more text to the book, I'm not really not complaining because of the quality and quantity of visual information. For anyone who loves medical oddities, this a book to have and keep for years.
