Warren Anatomical Museum
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The Warren Anatomical Museum, part of Harvard Medical School's Countway Library of Medicine, was founded in 1847 by Harvard professor John Collins Warren when he [1] whose personal collection of 160[2] unusual and instructive anatomical and pathological specimens form the nucleus of the museum's 15,000-item collection.[3]
The museum's first curator was J.B.S. Jackson.[4] The museum became a part of Countway Library's Center for the History of Medicine in 2000.[5]
Warren also has objects significant to medical history, such as the inhaler used during the first public demonstration of ether-assisted surgery in 1846 (on loan to the Massachusetts General Hospital since 1948),[6] and the skull of Phineas Gage, who survived a large iron bar being driven through his brain.
Renovations
The medical library began a multi-floor renovation in August 2019 requiring the temporary deinstallation of the museum gallery.[7] The renovation completed in spring 2021. Another renovation was performed from February to September 2023 which added seating areas and classroom space to the library.[8]
