The bronze statue of a dancing faun (actually a satyr, since the lower body is that of a man) is what the House of the Faun is named after. In the centre of the atrium there is a white limestone impluvium, a basin for collecting water.

[8] [9] In 2011, the Musée de la Grande Guerre du pays de Meaux opened next to the monument. The World War I Memorial, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, houses a 9-foot (2.7 m) bronze version of the ...
Inside the bronze trunk, there were internal organs and skeleton made of wood. Replacing paper models with this three-dimensional apparatus was a great improvement in teaching and examination: the outside of the bronze statue was first covered with wax to seal the acupoints and water (or mercury) was poured inside the dummy.
