One Museum, Two Galleries
The Hennepin Medical History Center (HMHC) celebrates the history of medicine, medical education, service, and patient care in Minneapolis and Hennepin County. Specifically, we preserve the legacies of Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) and Metropolitan Medical Center (MMC) - and their parent hospitals - to make them available to you.
Each of our collections is housed in a distinct gallery space, which together form the History Center. The HMHC is operated by the Hennepin Health Foundation, with a group of dedicated volunteers and professional staff. Please contact us or stop by, we are looking forward to your questions and patronage!
The MMC Historical Collection, established in 1974, is dedicated to providing resources for research and education, as well as preserving and collecting photographs, records, and equipment that document the work of the MMC and its predecessors: St Barnabas Hospital (Minneapolis’ first hospital 1871), including St Andrew’s Hospital and The Swedish Hospital (1898-1970). The MMC Gallery is open Tuesdays from noon to 2 pm and by
appointment.
