The NIH Stetten Museum collection includes scientific and clinical instruments that were either used in ground-breaking research at the NIH, were invented at the NIH, or were commonly used in laboratories or clinics at the NIH. The collection also contains non-scientific artifacts that speak to life at NIH including clothing, artwork, models, and even toys. We are always adding to the collection, so keep checking back.
