Time in a Bottle: The Shikes Medicine Bottle Exhibit

Brown, blue, green and clear antique medicine bottles on display

In 2015, Dr. Robert Shikes, Professor Emeritus in the Pathology Department at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and his wife Patricia generously donated an extensive collection of medical artifacts to the Strauss Health Sciences Library. This remarkable collection, amassed over many years, includes over 1,000 items and offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of medicine.
