Exhibits

Exhibits from the Library's rare book room and historical collections:

A Telling of Wonders
This exhibit examines the evolution of teratology (the study of perceived abnormalities in the natural world, both real and imagined), through the eyes of physicians and philosophers.
The Edwin Smith Papyrus
A collaboration with the National Library of Medicine, this Flash exhibit uses NLM's "Turning the Pages" concept to let you unroll the scroll of the world's oldest surgical document.
