Juno is on display again!

In January 2007, HealthSpace Cleveland merged with The Cleveland Museum of Natural History. This change has allowed the Museum to continue the tradition of providing health and life-science education. [...and displaying a see-thru woman with visible organs.]

Juno the Transparent Woman

Juno is currently homeless. But she is traveling.
