Art and medical science intersect in this look inside Flesh and Bones: The Art of Anatomy.

Assistant Curator Thisbe Gensler gives Jessie a tour of the recent Getty Research Institute exhibition. Together they talk about how 19th-century doctors and artists learned about the human body. And where the bodies came from in the first place.
