A Lab at Montréal’s Radium Institute, circa 1935

Black and white photograph of a room with a high ceiling well lit by two large windows filtered by thin curtains. Three beds are clearly visible in the image and arranged to accommodate machine installations on top. The three machines look like metal boxes and one of them looks like a large barrel lying lengthwise.

This room in the Maisonneuve building was described as one of the Institute’s laboratories. Thanks to the layout of the equipment and beds, we can infer that the labs and therapy units were often shared to study the results of the treatments.
