About National Museum of Dentistry

The Dr. Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry opened in 1996 on the University of Maryland, Baltimore campus, home of the first dental school in the country. Congress named it the nation's official dental museum in 2003, and it is a Smithsonian Affiliate. Its galleries cover the history of dentistry and oral health, with George Washington's dentures, Queen Victoria's dental instruments and a tooth jukebox. Adult admission is $10, and seniors, students and children 3 to 12 pay $5. Metered parking is on Greene and Pratt streets, and the light rail and MTA buses stop close by.
