Studying the anatomy of the body involves looking and listening, as well as touching. This section shows how artists, surgeons, anatomists and physicians use their eyes and ears to examine the human body.
Looking and listening includes modern visualising technologies that include ultrasound, first adapted for medical use in Glasgow in the 1950s. These technologies have produced some of the most remarkable images of our time.
Looking & Listening includes commissioned work by Joel Fisher.
