The Medical Artifact Collection at Western contains over 1200 artifacts, representing the practice and teaching of health and medicine in southwestern Ontario. Originating with the Faculty of Medicine at Western in the late nineteenth century, the collection includes a range of objects related to cardiology, ophthalmology, dentistry, pharmacology, surgery, homeopathy, obstetrics, phlebotomy, veterinary and military medicine, microscopy, anatomy, and alternative medicine from the late eighteenth to the late twentieth centuries.
This is not a museum open to the public, but the collection can be viewed online. Researchers may request access to the collection.
