The Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences, located on the first floor of the Lister Hill Library at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, has reopened for public walk-in hours noon-5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday.
The current exhibit, “Snapshots,” explores how society has historically defined women’s mental health and includes themes centered on anatomy, motherhood, mental health and more, encouraging visitors to consider their own perceptions and definitions of women’s health.
