From park ridge to schaumburg to the world wide web: The wood library-Museum of anesthesiology

摘要

The previous two Park Ridge buildings had basements for storage of undisplayed library-museum items. Galleries in these buildings were designed when economy was paramount, so exhibits were designed to display the maximum number of objects in the most inexpensive manner. The more objects and machines displayed, the less the WLM, and therefore ASA members, would have to pay in climate-controlled off-site storage. Designed by a physician-curator (G.S.B.), these galleries were somewhat cluttered. Professional signage was generated piecemeal with the assistance of a single graphics artist.
