A.W. Ward Museum of Dental History, University of the Pacific

The A.W. Ward Museum of Dental History is sponsored by the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco. The Museum was conceived of as a tribute to Dr. A.W. Ward, a pre-eminent periodontist. The Ward collections include thousands of dental artifacts from diverse periods. The Museum sponsors rotating and permanent exhibits on both historical and educational themes. In addition, the Museum periodically contributes to exhibits around the Bay Area. In addition, the Museum sponsors a permanent exhibit at the Columbia State Historical Park in Columbia, California. The Museum is open year-round, two days a week.
