Story of the object
Unique collection in Europe of molds from the Eye Pathology Clinic. They were realised by the first female Professor of Ophtalmology in the world Elena Densușianu-Pușcariu. Part of her molds were plagiariazed in international scientific journals, as illustrations of some pathologists. The molds were made in the mold workshop established in the early ’20s of last century. A big part of the molds were included in the textbook for students, edited by Prof. Pușcariu, and some of them were supplemented with images of the pacients they were performed after, while others were also published in french and italian ophtalmology papers.
