Napoleon's Penis
Napoleon's penis was allegedly amputated during an autopsy shortly after Napoleon's death in 1821. Since then it has passed through several owners, including A. S. W. Rosenbach, who exhibited it in New York City in 1927. It was purchased by John K. Lattimer in 1977, and is still held in his family, who keep it as a private item. It was described as similar to a "piece of leather or a shriveled eel". History Napoleon was exiled to Saint Helena in the Atlantic Ocean after losing the Battle of Waterloo. He died on the isle on May 5, 1821. After his death, an autopsy was conducted and Francesco Antommarchi, the doctor conducting the autopsy, cut his penis off, along with several other body parts. It is unclear whether the cut was intentional or accidental; Antommarchi may have been bribed to cut it off by Napoleon's chaplain as revenge for Napoleon calling him "impotent". The penis passed into the possession of Napoleon's chaplain, who smuggled it out of St. Helena to his home ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Urologist
Urology (from Greek οὖρον ''ouron'' "urine" and ''-logia'' "study of"), also known as genitourinary surgery, is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the urinary-tract system and the reproductive organs. Organs under the domain of urology include the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and the male reproductive organs (testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis). The urinary and reproductive tracts are closely linked, and disorders of one often affect the other. Thus a major spectrum of the conditions managed in urology exists under the domain of genitourinary disorders. Urology combines the management of medical (i.e., non-surgical) conditions, such as urinary-tract infections and benign prostatic hyperplasia, with the management of surgical conditions such as bladder or prostate cancer, kidney stones, congenital abnormalities, traumatic injury, and stress incontinence.

Museum Of French Art
The Museum of French Art was an art museum in New York City, associated with the predecessor organizations to the current New York non-profit French Institute Alliance Française. It exhibited art in New York as part of a broader effort to popularize French art in the United States. The museum was active from 1911 to at least the 1930s. History By 1911 the American division of the Alliance française, an organization aimed at expanding knowledge of French culture, had many sub-chapters. As early as 1909 the division's council had looked at ways to bring French art to popular attention. After further investigation, it was decided to found a French Institute in the United States and associated museum in New York City, with perhaps museums in other cities to follow. (The two New York non-profits remerged decades later to form the French Institute Alliance Française.) The French Institute was founded on June 14, 1911, in a meeting held at the offices of the French Ministry of Publ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
