Comparative Skull Drawing with the Mütter Museum
Fumo Family Library
In this lesson, students will learn a step-by-step approach to create a drawing from images of real human skulls in our famous Hyrtl Skull Collection. We will discuss how art and medicine can be used in complementary ways, identify differences in the skulls, as well as learn about Dr. Hyrtl, why he collected the skulls, what his collection accomplished, and how it is still being used today. This program is for teens and adults.
