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. Among these invaluable artifacts are numerous glass medicine bottles from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, showcasing a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. 

Come explore some of these unique and historical items firsthand at the Strauss Health Sciences Library / 3rd Floor Gallery.
