This display of a ca. 1925 operating room shows the essential components of an O.R. at this time. The contents include: a metal operating table, stool, instrument stand, and instrument cabinet. The photograph in the background, which shows an operation in progress at the South Unit of Youngstown Hospital during the 1920s, puts the furniture into context and helps the visitor to visualize the reality of surgical practice and the O.R. of the past.
