To kick off the new year we are bringing back our collection of mortars and pestles, which were donated by Robert I. Kramer, M.D. in 1995. For over two decades they were displayed in the library as a permanent exhibit, though in recent years they have been on rotation with only a small selection making an appearance at a time. Some of them you may recognize, while others might be wholly new. Dr. Kramer collected these pieces on his travels across the globe, ranging from the far east to the Americas and covering centuries of history. This wider set will be on display until the summer, so be sure to stop by to view them before their regular rotation begins again.
