Stanford Medicine Narratives: New Online Exhibit

The black granite benches that line the path from the Clark Center to the Center for Clinical Sciences Research are the work of artist Susan Schwartzenberg. The project was commissioned in 2008 by then-Dean of the School of Medicine, Dr. Phil Pizzo. You can now read and enjoy the panels from those benches in a new online exhibit!

The exhibit allows you to browse the panels on each of the 22 benches. It also has a search feature in the upper-right corner of the screen that allows you to search for names, dates, and terms.

You can also join Dr. Drew Bourn for his monthly Historical Walking Tour to see the benches in person and learn more about the history of Stanford Medicine.
