At noon on Thursday, the Durham Museum’s associate director, Kellen Hinrichsen, will discuss the museum’s newest exhibition, “This May Hurt a Bit: Medicine in Old Omaha.”
Using documents from the museum’s Byron Reed collection, “This May Hurt a Bit” will explore a time just after Omaha’s founding, recreating the colorful world of medicine at that time — from bloodletting to magical cure-alls.
Hinrichsen will speak in the Sorrell Center, Room 2018.
The exhibit “This May Hurt a Bit” opens on Jan. 24 in the museum’s Velde Gallery of American History.
The presentation is part of the Time Travelers Program, a partnership between the Durham Museum and UNMC. The program provides free museum admission for medical center employees, students and their immediate family with a valid identification badge, while also offering lectures, workshops and other events on the medical center campus.
