Pathological Anatomy Lab of the Institute, 1943

Black and white photograph of a windowless room with floral wallpaper. A lamp hangs from the ceiling, a large cabinet is on the right wall, and a large sink is on the left wall. In the center is a large table with an array of laboratory instruments. Test tubes, beakers, and other less recognizable instruments are handled by two women in nurse's uniforms and a man in a lab coat.

The laboratories in the Maisonneuve building’s basement were used for research. A doctor, probably Pierre Masson, Director of the Pathological Anatomy lab in the 1940s, is sitting next to two nurses.
