In the interest of prioritizing the safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers, reducing the number of people on campus and slowing the opportunity for transmission of the Coronavirus, the museum is closing to the public, at the end of business on March 13th 2020 until further notice. This is in alignment with the closing of many other Boston-area public museums.
Over the next few weeks we will be assessing the situation and reviewing options for when we will be able to re-open to the public.
We appreciate your understanding as we do our part to mitigate the spread of the virus in our community.

America's First Public Health Museum!
Public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of people and their communities, achieved by promoting healthy lifestyles, researching disease and injury prevention, and detecting, preventing and responding to infectious diseases.
The Public Health Museum is an independent 501(c)3 organization, housed in the historic Richard Morris building (also known as the Old Administration Building) of Tewksbury Hospital in Massachusetts. The Museum strives to preserve artifacts and records of our nation’s history in public health and serve as a resource to the community to educate and promote public health initiatives that address current health issues.
