Musée des moulages, Hôpital Saint-Louis, AP-HP
The Saint-Louis Hospital Museum’s moulding collection, with nearly 5,000 pieces, is the largest in the world. The casts were made from 1865 to 1958 by Jules Baretta and his successors. Although the latter are no longer part of the teaching aids of dermatology, they remain a determining element of the history of medicine and the representation of the sick man, as well as an artistic heritage to be preserved.
