Its easy to spot the guy with the big straw hat and frilly white collar.
That is Jeremy Bentham, and he has been dead for nearly two centuries.
Benthams usual home is inside a wooden cabinet in the main building of the University College London.
The mannequin is made of hay mostly, while the head is sculpted out of wax.
