Museum Provenance

This piece comes from a historic medical teaching collection originally associated with materials displayed by the Pink Palace Museum in Memphis, Tennessee for the exhibit “Medicine in Memphis 1830–1930.”

The archive also contains materials connected with the medical work and collected historical artifacts of Dr. Max Goltman of Memphis, whose documents and instruments were preserved as part of educational medical displays.

We are currently cataloging and liquidating the remaining contents of this historical medical collection. Additional instruments, medical glassware, surgical tools, and archival materials will be listed.
