In the second of The Gibson House Museum’s winter virtual lecture series, mark your calendar for February 6 at 6 pm for The Development of Anatomy & Pathology Collections in 19th Century Boston. Dr. John Collins Warren (1778-1856), grandfather of Rosamond Warren Gibson, pioneered the use of anesthesia in surgery and cofounded Massachusetts General Hospital in 1811. He also donated the collection that became the basis for Harvard Medical School’s Warren Anatomical Museum. Boston Brahmins like Dr. Warren played a major role both in the development of anatomical collections and the ways these collections influenced medical knowledge and practice. Join Warren Anatomical Museum Curator Dominic Hall as he discusses these collections, their development, and their continued relevance. $10. Register HERE.
