    “HOUSE WAK Most of the objects displayed in “House Of Wax" are the remnants of & largely forgotten popular exhibition known as Castan’s Panopticum. Founded in Berlin in 1869 and lasting until 1922, Castan’s was a museum its German contemporaries described as an “Allesschau,” a “show of everything,” Panoptica were popular throughout Europe ‘rom the 18th through the early 20th century Like dime museums such as Barnum's American Museum, these largely forgotten spaces fall somewhere between aristocratic cabinets of curiosity and today’s ideas of museums. Castan’s was a typical panopt of its day, displaying for a popular audience anatomical and pathologieal waxworks; death masks of celebrities and murderers; ethnographie busts; Anatomical Venuses, or wax models of anatomized recumbent ‘women; waxes showing the effects of syphilis, (still a fatal disease at this time) as well as assorted curiosities such as mummies, stuffed alligators, and monkey skeletons. They also presonted live acts such as singers, dancers, ‘ventriloquists and hunger artists. Its spectacle hovered between the exotic and the scientific. In many ways, the panoptica’s sensational, shocking and sometimes morbid qualities were clear commercial caleulation on the part of entrepreneurs whose livelihoods depended on drawing the largest possible payin audience, which in fat came in sizable numbers. However, in an age notoriously reticent about topies related to the body and sexuslity, some MUSEUM & COCKTAILS of them lore graphic anatomical waxworks were designed to titillate but were defende} scientif In its many as with ap] establis) Brussel But pan and 19: to do | Tower c help pai seem wi also ie} televisi stunnin: as anat became the ass} appear from thy them ra easy to| ended In this| and ev Panopti draven artifact under the guise of education and je study. jeyday, Casten’s could attract as 5,000 visitors on a single Sunday, eal so strong that franchises were Jed in Cologne, Frankfurt am Main, and Amsterdam. ptica did not survive past the 19208, , for reasons that have only partly th their increasing association with tural status.
