Human sculptures at the University Art Museum in Berkeley, California, baffle visitors who often cannot tell the difference between a real person and a model. They are created by Duane Hanson from plaster casts of real people. They are made from a mixture of polyester resin for the face and arms and fibreglass for the body. On the left is a heroin addict and, above: visitors to the museum are looking at a sculpture of a painter (sitting).
