The 5th floor Gallery of the Center for the History of Medicine exhibits highlights from throughout the broad holdings of the Center, including from the Warren Anatomical Museum collection and the case of Phineas Gage. The L2 gallery is a rotating display and is currently hosting the exhibit Prescriptions for Peace, a new exhibit on physician anti-nuclear activism from 1961 to 1985.
