Magnet – Hall of Immortals

Take the International Museum of Surgical Science home with this new molded

Museum Hall of Immortals magnet! The magnet features a metallic silver finish.

Medical artifacts, apparatus and instruments comprise the bulk of the material

in the Museum’s collections. Over 7,000 medical artifacts spanning centuries of

worldwide medical history, from acupuncture to X-ray therapy, are represented

in the collections.

Fine art is featured in the collections through over 600 paintings, prints and

sculptures, primarily portraits of individuals and historical depictions of

specific procedures or events. Significant artworks were commissioned by the

Museum for the collection in 1950-53 including the Hall of Immortals. The

Museum’s Hall of Immortal statues are attributed to sculptors Louis Linck and

Édouard Chassaing, commissiones for the Museum in 1953.
