Abstract:

The Harry Daly Museum is devoted to the preservation, documentation and interpretation of the history of anaesthetic practice. Our exhibits and open storage drawers explore the fascinating history of this important medical specialty, from the first successful medical anaesthetic administration in 1846 through the myriad technological advancements that followed. Highlighting uniquely Australian advancements and the innovative individuals who helped shape modern anaesthesia, the Museum aims to encourage interest in the local and global history of anaesthesia.
