Florence Pathology Museum

University of Florence Museum of Pathological Anatomy (Florence, Italy)

This is a small but entrancing collection of wax models and pathological specimens, including some of the most fascinating wax models I’ve ever seen.  Check out the gallery on the Morbid Anatomy Flickr page to see what I mean!

About Comtesse DeSpair

The Comtesse DeSpair sits in sullen silence in The Castle DeSpair, obsessively reflecting upon the horrible void in which we exist. In her spare time (of which she has nothing but), she collects morbid trinkets and reads voraciously about the history of torture. She stores her trinkets in The Asylum Eclectica (http://asylumeclectica.com/). The Comtesse is hideously disfigured and thickly veiled at all hours. Once, an unfortunate servant caught a glimpse beneath the veil and was driven to madness. The Comtesse loves thunderstorms, darkness, and solitude.

  1. The casting of the infant with hydrocephalus is especially captivating because of the position of his/her eyes- a child with such overwhelming hydro would, in fact, have their eyes fixed downward just like the cast. Fascinating pictures, thanks!
