NEW YORK (AP) – A room full of mannequins is the subject of a new museum exhibition in New York City.

They’re the creation of designer Ralph Pucci – who elevates these dummies to a sculptural art form.

The Museum of Arts and Design says “The Art of the Mannequin” is the first museum show to survey the form of the mannequin.

It runs from Tuesday through Aug. 30.

Pucci’s craftsmanship ranges from anatomically realistic creations to abstract, totem-like forms.
