This guided tour at the UZH Museum of Wax Moulds explores the history and significance of wax casts—detailed reproductions of diseased body surfaces. Through patient examples, it discusses their role in medical research and training within a medical-historical context. The tour is part of the accompanying programme for the exhibition "Models – Shaping Knowledge" at ETH Zurich and is free of charge, held in German.
