Adrian Flatt hand collection

The casts were created by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Adrian Flatt (1921—2017), and the collection features the hands of various former United States presidents, actors, athletes, scientists, musicians, artists, astronauts, and other celebrities.

[2] Dr. Flatt created the molds using the same type of resin used in the creation of dental composites.

The collection has been on display at the Baylor University Medical Center since 1982, when Dr. Flatt began working there.

[1] According to Dr. Jay Mabrey, the collection is the most popular site on the Baylor University campus.

[6] The casts have been praised as "life-like and precise" by Atlas Obscura, which noted that the attention to detail showcases Dr. Flatt's "fascination with the unique size, shape, and signature of each mitt".
