Dr. Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry

The Dr. Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry celebrates the past, present, and future of dentistry while emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy mouth for overall well-being. Through our exhibitions, programming, and collections, we uncover the often-overlooked history behind smiles and showcase the contributions of scientists, tradesmen, and professionals who have shaped the field throughout history. Located at the heart of the University System of Maryland's founding campus in Baltimore, our museum houses one of the world's largest and oldest collections related to dentistry, including dental instruments, artwork, and pop culture items.
