In a partnership with the Cincinnati Opera in advance of their performance of Silent Night July 10 and 12, , the UC Department of Surgery is holding an exhibit of World World War I-era military artifacts at UC’s Henry R Winkler Center for the History of Health Professions.

The exhibit includes WWI-era military uniforms, helmets, masks and photographs from field hospitals. Materials are on loan from the Geier Collections & Research Center at the Cincinnati Museum Center, from the private collection of David Peck and the Winkler Center, and were curated by UC historians Elizabeth Frierson and Josh Benner.

The exhibit will run until Friday, June 6 in the Lucas Board Room of the Winkler Center, housed in the CARE/Crawley building, 3235 Eden Avenue. Parking is available in the Eden Garage across the street. 

The exhibit is open to the public, but visitors are asked to make an appointment in advance. Guided tours are possible for groups. For more information, call chhp@uc.edu or call 513-558-5120.
