This 1951 photo of Edward Holyoke (right), M.D., Ph.D., teaching anatomy at UNMC is one of many that can be seen at the College of Medicine’s 125th anniversary photo display at the Durham Western Heritage Museum. Med center students and employees can view the College of Medicine display, as well as the museum’s other exhibits, at an employee night event on Jan. 4. |
All are part of an upcoming event at the Durham Western Heritage Museum designed solely for students and employees from UNMC, UNMC Physicians and The Nebraska Medical Center.
The event will be held Jan. 4 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. as part of the “Time Travelers” program, a partnership between the medical center and the museum.
Attendees can view several exhibits at the museum, including the College of Medicine’s 125 year anniversary display. The exhibit, which runs through April 29, features nearly 40 large black and white photographs and several artifacts documenting the college’s history.
Other exhibits include the “Holiday Miniatures, Gems and Minerals from the Smithsonian Collection,” “Reflections: Russian Photographs from 1992-2002” and “From the Home Front and the Front Lines,” a display of original materials — including photographs, diaries and military papers — from the Veterans History Project collections at the Library of Congress.
Those planning to attend should RSVP to Jill Carson at jlcarson@unmc.edu by Jan. 2. Attendees are encouraged to bring a guest.
The “Time Travelers” program offers the employee event annually and allows employees, students and their families free admission to the museum, as well as other programs, throughout the year. Free admission to the museum may be attained any time throughout the year by presenting valid identification.
