"William Hunter and the Anatomy of the Modern Museum accompanies a groundbreaking
exhibition organized by the Hunterian at the University of Glasgow, in collaboration
with the Yale Center for British Art, to celebrate the 2018 tercentenary of The Hunterian's
founder, Dr. William Hunter (1718-1783). This publication is the first in 150 years
to assess the contribution made by Hunter, the Scottish-born obstetrician, anatomist,
and collector, to the development of the modern museum as a public institution. Essays
examine how Hunter gathered his collection to be used as a source of knowledge and
instruction, encompassing outstanding paintings and works on paper, coins and medals,
and anatomical and zoological specimens. Hunter also possessed ethnographic artifacts
from Spain, the Middle East, China, and the South Pacific, and was an avid collector
of medieval manuscripts and incunabula; these were all located within one of the most
important "working" libraries of eighteenth-century London"
