Exhibit Design Resource: Think Anatomy

For those of you who work in more traditional natural history museums (with lots of mounted skeletons and specimens floating in jars) you'll love the new anatomy-based portal called Think Anatomy.

Put together by their sister site Street Anatomy, Think Anatomy has assembled a great collection of web-based resources for learning about, as well as gathering content information on, all things anatomical.

Some of my favorite resources so far are the Anatomy Arcade games and the dissection videos from the University of Michigan. (WARNING: not all of this material is good for those with weak stomachs!)

Come to think of it, beyond natural history museum folks, both Street Anatomy and Think Anatomy provide great resources for anyone developing classroom, outreach, or teacher-training programs as well.

Exhibit Inspiration: Golden Ray Migration Photos


I admit it, the header photo and the link to the complete photo set mentioned below, are only tangentially related to exhibits know-how.

But they are just amazingly cool!

Amateur photographer Sandra Critelli came across the migrating rays while looking for whale sharks. The complete photo set is viewable at the Telegraph (UK) Newspaper site. Enjoy!
