ABSTRACT:
While 鈥渂abies in bottles鈥� are a common, if sometimes controversial, element in medical museum collections and exhibitions, the material culture of abortion and contraception is unevenly preserved and displayed. Drawing on a book project on the social relevance of European medical museums, this presentation addresses the collection and exhibition of the history of reproduction and the narrow narrative frameworks used when exhibiting the history of women鈥檚 reproductive health.
