Anatomically accurate replica of the historic skull from Harvard Medical School's Warren Anatomical Museum
Explore the landmark neuroscience case that revealed the brain's role in personality and behavior
Multiple scale options and vertically-sliced files for flexible 3D printing
Hands-on learning tool for neuroscience, history of medicine, and STEM education

This anatomically accurate 3D-printable skull belongs to Phineas Gage, a railroad foreman whose case became foundational to neuroscience. In 1848, an explosion drove a tamping iron through his head and skull. Though he survived, his reported personality changes provided the first evidence that the frontal lobe governs personality—a revolutionary discovery housed today at Harvard Medical School's Warren Anatomical Museum.

Perfect for neuroscience classrooms, museum exhibits, or anyone fascinated by the history of brain science, this model enables hands-on exploration of a pivotal medical artifact. The design includes multiple scale versions and vertically-sliced file options to suit different printing needs and equipment.

Study the anatomical details up close, visualize the injury trajectory, and engage with one of medicine's most compelling case histories through this tangible, printable replica.
