Always a somewhat mysterious medical practice, the museum covers the people, discovery and devices that made anesthesiology the field that makes possible daily miracles of surgical care. The museum is probably the world's best and the staff knowledgable and passionate. It's a small collection but every item has a fascinating story behind it

There's no visitor information (hours) online. So I called their number and they said that reservations are required 5 days in advance and only allow visits on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The museum is located at the American Society for Anastesiology's corporate headquarters. I did not visit, but rated it just to put in this review.

Staying in Schaumburg with nothing to do I ventured to this museum. It was impromptu but the folks there were very friendly and accommodating. I was given a personal and very interesting and informative tour by Theresa. She was greatm. Really fascinating stuff about the history of anesthesiology. Glad I took the time.

We enjoy going to museums that are unique and this one fit the bill. Our guide (Judy I think) was great and was very knowledgeable. And it is free. Recommend calling ahead to arrange a tour which takes about an hour.
The history of Anesthesiology was very interesting. The displays are original not replicas and most haven't really been restored very much which I thought was great. It is laid out, in logical and chronological order and explained very well.
It is also interesting why and how many of the drugs used came about. Also how and why the equipment was invented or changed for different reasons. I highly recommend visiting the International Museum of Surgical Science.

The Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology first opened its doors in 1963 in Park Ridge, IL displaying the collection of the New York anesthesiologist, Paul M. Wood. In 2014 the Museum moved to Schaumburg, IL within the newly constructed American Society of Anesthesiologists headquarters. The professionally designed exhibits include a ninety foot timeline, "From Darkness to Light" detailing the evolution of anesthesiology from the earliest civilizations to the present. Featured on the timeline are the Americans who first conceived of using ether as an anesthetic in the mid-1800s. The wall opposite the timeline features the Wood Library rare book collection with its emphasis on early pharmacology, mesmerism, and acupuncture.
The display cases are interesting and visually attractive. They show early ether and chloroform vaporizers and other artifacts that demonstrate the breadth of anesthesiology as a medical specialty.
While not large, this museum is one of the finest anesthesiology museums in the world. Well worth a visit!
