Creating the Future of Medicine for 175 Years Exhibit

Step back in time to 1850, when the doors opened to the University of Michigan Medical School’s first building on the UM Diag, in this exhibit Creating the Future of Medicine for 175 Years. Travel through the decades of accelerating progress in medical education, health care and biomedical research, including the 1925 opening of the famous “Old Main” University Hospital that served patients for nearly 60 years. See artifacts, photographs and documents from U-M medical and scientific history, and learn how one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers – Michigan Medicine – came to be. This exhibit is part of the 175th Anniversary celebration for the Medical School, and the centennial of Old Main.
