This interesting bookmark donated to my collection set me off on a mission to find out more!
The Geoffrey Kaye Museum of Anaesthetic History, part of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, located in Melbourne, Australia, showcases over 170 years of advances in anaesthesia and pain medicine, and is one of the largest and most diverse collections in the world.
Dr Geoffrey Kaye established a museum from his private collection of anaesthetic apparatus in 1946. The current collection has evolved from that and focuses on the development of anaesthesia practice from its beginning, in 1846, through to contemporary practice. A number of related medical specialties are also represented in the collection, such as pain medicine and hyperbaric medicine. The collection focuses on the equipment, apparatus and instruments designed for advancement in practice, as well as the lives and contributions of the many individuals who have grown the specialty.
