Exploring the themes of Anatomy; Healers; Disease, Disability, and Madness; and the Cycle of Life, this exhibition displayed 140 works spanning five centuries of medical and art history from the Renaissance to the present. Diane R. Karp, Assistant Curator for the Ars Medica Collection, selected works from the museum's permanent collection for an exhibition that would later travel to Cleveland, San Francisco, Edinburgh, and Tokyo. "Ars Medica" was made possible by SmithKline Beckman Corporation, and supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and The Pew Memorial Trust.
