MUSEUM OF MONSTROUS MEDICINE
Curated by Students of the UTSA Honors Course, Monstrous Medicine: Medical Experimentation in U.S. Historical Contexts with the intention of expanding available and synthesized knowledge related to the practice of medical discovery and its history. We invite you to face and acknowledge a brutal theme in the United States and, using Sankofa, understand the far reaching impact into today's medical outcomes.
PLEASE NOTE: Images and descriptions displayed in this museum may be disturbing for some viewers.
Discretion advised.
