Life cast and skull of Phineas Gage, Warren Anatomical Museum, Center for the History of Medicine, Countway Library
As of Wednesday, 8/21/2019, the Warren Anatomical Museum exhibition gallery will be closed until Spring 2021 to prepare for its redesign as part of the larger renovation of the Countway Library of Medicine. Throughout August, the exhibits will be taken down both for their protection during the upcoming construction and to allow for the curation of the next iteration of the Warren Anatomical Museum exhibition gallery.
Keep an eye out on the Center for the History Medicine news feed and the Countway Library website for updates on the renovation and ways you can give input on the next Warren Anatomical Museum gallery.
The Center for the History of Medicine is delighted to announce the dramatic redesign of its home and Warren Anatomical Museum pages. Center staff wish to collectively extend our thanks and gratitude to Allison Herrera, the Countway Library’s User Experience Researcher, for her many months of hard work on this project, which also includes a fantastic new landing page for the Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine.
Congratulations, Allison!

This fall, the Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine will begin a multi-floor renovation requiring the temporary deinstallation of the Center for the History of Medicine’s Warren Anatomical Museum Gallery on the fifth floor. Throughout August, all of the artwork, artifacts, and specimens in the building are being taken down for their protection during construction. Plans are now underway to design and imagine the Gallery for its re-installation, including bringing new selections from the Museum’s rich holdings to the public Spring 2021.
The Warren Anatomical Museum will continue to offer educational sessions throughout the renovation and host a number of open houses during the fall and spring academic semesters. Please visit our event calendar this September for these limited-attendance programs. Also look for new content about Museum holdings on our new Museum landing page.
The last day to visit the Gallery and the skull of Phineas Gage is Tuesday, August 20, 2019.
