The American Museum of Homeopathy
Overview
The American Museum of Homeopathy is a long held dream of the United States homeopathic community. With the establishment of the American Medical College of Homeopathy, this dream has finally become realizable. The college will provide the infrastructure and physical plant necessary for such a project.
This museum is the first of its kind in the United States. Its purpose is primarily educational, as well as helping to leave a legacy for the future of homeopathy. Homeopathy is a word that is not well recognized or understood within the United States and this museum will help to introduce the public to the field of homeopathic medicine and its place within the healing arts. The physical structure will also help to raise the legitimacy of homeopathy as an accepted profession.
The museum also provides a unique opportunity to help the public learn about themselves and their natural world. Homeopathy offers a window into life that cannot be accessed in any other way. This window can be transformative for those with the eyes to see.
Traveling Collection
The American Medical College of Homeopathy will need the support of the US homeopathic community and local Phoenix community to make this museum a success. Although housed in Arizona, it is also our hope to create a traveling collection that will make homeopathy more accessible to the public around the United States.
Boyce Thompson Museum Exhibit
The American Medical College of Homeopathy created a museum exhibit at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, in Superior Arizona. The exhibit was entitled Desert Medicine and was displayed from April 1st, 2005 through October 1st 2005, incorporating approximately 600 square feet. The Boyce Thompson arboretum is one of the major Southwest Museums. The exhibit was dedicated to connecting the public to their natural world, using homeopathy as a tool.
