Philadelphia physicians have been pioneers and leaders in the practice and teaching of obstetrics and gynecology since the 18th century, and the OB-GYN instrument collections of the Mütter Museum reflect the richness of that heritage. The approximately 1200 artifacts range in date from the 18th century to the present, and include those used in delivery, diagnosis, and in the treatment of gynecological and obstetrical disorders.

The OB-GYN Online Catalogue provides a comprehensive overview of our collections in order to aid researchers in their basic identification and use. For additional information about the instruments or the physicians associated with them, contact the Mütter Museum at museum@collphyphil.org.

The OB-GYN Online Catalogue was funded by grants from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and the Groff Family Memorial Trust.
