The museum also includes a unique collection of medical records and journals, prescriptions, samples, pharmacopeias, and other related relics. Plus, the collections include a wide range of artworks including prints, photographs, botanical drawings, illustrations, international historic postcards, stamps, paintings, posters, textiles, sculptures, pipes, and a notable collection of African art. Additionally, the museum hosts a distinctive collection of contemporary and historic hemp production and processing tools.
