Many of y'all know my Mom had surgery in early April at Baylor Hospital - Dallas. While waiting for her surgery to be complete we did a little exploring after eating lunch.
There's an exhibit there called the Adrian E. Flatt, M.D., Hand Collection. Being a High 5 super fan I was curious to see what was actually in the collection. What we found were actual hand casts of famous people. It's pretty cool stuff.
Now the first exhibit case included medical hand anomalies.
There were some musician hands such as Van Cliburn.
As well as Louis Armstrong.
There were sports figures like Nolan Ryan.
And Pudge Rodriguez.
As well as a classic wrestler, Fritz Von Erich.
There were also some hand casts from the likes of Walt Disney.
As well as Charles M. Schulz, who is the creator of The Peanuts Gang.
Norman Rockwell is also there. Well he's not but casts of his hands are. I'm wondering. How many of you know who that is?
You can see some examples of his work by clicking here.
I also saw the hands of Dr. Suess. Now I had never really ever thought about it but Dr. Suess is not his real name. His real name is Theodor Seuss Geisel which yes has Suess in it but seriously I didn't know his last name wasn't Suess. The things you can learn.
So all in all I had a really great time. This exhibit is in the main lobby and the best part is it's FREE!! WoooHooo! The very last case had some interesting hands for all to enjoy.
So let me know if you have a chance to stop by and enjoy the exhibit. It's pretty interesting.
