Did you know that the Dittrick displays two recurring mini-exhibit series on the second floor of the Allen Memorial Medical Library? What’s New (and Old) at the Dittrick? displays modern medical devices alongside their technological ancestors. The other, At the Dittrick, we’re exploring…, presents new themes and ideas we’re developing for larger exhibits, events, and research projects. Our most recent mini-exhibit includes some rarely displayed hemoglobinometers and other testing equipment from the 20th (and 21st!) century.
