The Autopsy Theater

Across from the autopsy room was the grandiose theater; the dissection table on the floor here has been removed just as the other stainless equipment, but many other items in here were very intact.

i was able to see an ampitheater similar to this one in a facility near my home. It is in a physicians hospital that is fully functioning although the ampitheater is curruntly locked up and quite rundown.

Very cool!

That railing at the bottom of the image looks transparent in places; is that an effect of merging photos?

the operating space looks smaller than i would have thought... once you put a table, equipment and one or two people, its gotta be rather cramped.

Yeah the stitching of the photographs isn't perfect, so the railing appears transparent in places.

As for the size of the place; things look pretty small from these back seats, so they probably made it as cramped as possible so everyone could see the procedure.

Its the way to learn i guess...If it wasnt for this we wouldnt have medical science be the same as it is nowadays..

Wow, this photo threw me off a little! Very neat effect!

Did you use a type of "fish-eye" or convex lens, Motts?

I always thought of a theater as a place to see plays. I guess you couldn't call it a lecture hall though. It's sort of in between

Wow. The world before modern technology--definitely before video feeds replaced in-person viewing.

It never fails to amaze me how rapidly a unmaintained space deteriorates. This facility hasn't even be disused for half a decade yet.

Wow, I remember entering the place back in 2003 and I think it was approximately a year after they shut it down.

On the main picture of the building I entered it with two of my friends on the left side. Our original intent was the go up the stairs but my friend had mentioned a series of tunnels that lead to the infirmatory (sp?) . We were in there for a good hour or so but ended up leaving because it was cold and raining that night and none the less we were getting freaked out.

I was wondering, what are those TV looking things hanging from brackets to the left and right of the doors? Are they TV's or are they some sort of lighting?

yes nutsy the guy at center stage is singing, all the while yanking out intestines with rapid, jerking, hand-over-hand movements, spindles of colon arcing upwards in the air like sausage yarn, and he's pelting random onlookers with giblets in time with the beat of the music. then he rips off his surgical mask and his headdress (a ram's skull) and buries his head in the chest cavity, slurping voraciously.
...im sry was that too much? it was too much wasnt it?

I was heavily inspired by this room in the creation of a 3d environment. I've got some images of it posted up in the forums here if you feel like taking a gander.
