Where is the Mayo Clinic Historical Suite? Where can I find out about the history of Mayo Clinic? Is there a Mayo Clinic Museum?

The W. Bruce Fye Center for the History of Medicine is located on the 3rd floor of the Plummer building in Rochester. This space has many exhibits and artifacts related to the Mayo brothers and the founding of the clinic.
The Historical Suite is open from 8am-5pm, Monday to Friday, and Mayo Clinic staff, patients, and their families are welcome to visit. The suite is not open to the general public.
