In 1950, the Cleveland Health Museum purchased the Transparent Woman from a workshop in Cologne, Germany for $15,000. With an exterior made of clear plastic, all of her bones, veins and arteries, and internal organs were presented in an anatomically correct size and body location. While originally named "Eve," after arriving in Cleveland , a contest was held to rename her and she was renamed "Juno," after the Queen of Roman gods. In this photo taken in October of 1950, Cleveland News reporter Harry Christiansen examines the Transparent Woman shortly after her arrival in Cleveland. | Date: 1950 | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
