EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment at an anatomy exhibition in St. Petersburg, Russia, back in 2010. The image showcases a collection of specimen jars that hold preserved anatomical wonders, offering visitors a glimpse into the intricate world of human biology. Amongst the array of fascinating specimens, one jar stands out - it contains a pair of conjoined twins. This extraordinary sight serves as a testament to the complexity and diversity found within our own bodies. It is both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking, reminding us of the incredible intricacies that make up our existence. The exhibition itself, titled "Mortui Vivos Docent" or "The Dead Teach the Living" was organized by the Military Medical Academy with the intention to educate and enlighten individuals about human anatomy. Through preservation techniques and careful curation, these specimens were transformed into powerful teaching tools for medical students and enthusiasts alike. In this photograph, we witness a visitor engrossed in contemplation as they observe these remarkable jars. Their presence signifies not only their curiosity but also their eagerness to learn from those who came before us – an embodiment of the phrase "the dead teach the living". This image serves as a reminder that education knows no boundaries; even long after death, these preserved specimens continue to inspire generations with their invaluable lessons on medicine and human biology.
