Ryan Matthew Cohn

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2026

Ryan Matthew Cohn is a distinguished fine artist and expert in the esoteric, celebrated for his work in anatomical art and unique collectibles. Growing up in upstate New York, he developed a passion for rare specimens and medical antiques, which became the cornerstone of his career. Inspired by 19th-century anatomist Claude Beauchene, Cohn revived the “exploded” skull art form with the precision of a jeweler, earning international recognition. As a former co-host of Discovery Channel’s Oddities, Cohn introduced his art to a broader audience, inspiring renewed interest in anatomical and rare artifacts. Today, he continues to expand his craft through commissioned pieces and installations, establishing himself as a leading figure in the world of fine art and unique collections.
