We are pleased to invite you to attend this year's annual dinner of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons History Section, being held at the Museum of Man, located in Balboa Park.

Some of the permanent exhibits that you will have access to include Footsteps Through Time, Four Million Years of Human Evolution, Discover Egypt, Ancient Egypt, Maya: Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth, and Kumeyaay: Native Californians.
During our event at the Museum, there will be a new exhibit called Skull Stories: Trephination
and the Art of Medicine. The act and art of trephination have been practiced around the world for thousands of years. The upcoming exhibition at the San Diego Museum of Man will focus on the universality of this practice of skull surgery, the various methods and tools used to perform the surgery, and the reasons why the surgery is carried out. Peruvian skulls from the Museum of Man's premiere collection (the Hrdlicka Paleopathology Collection) will be showcased, and people from various cultures around the world who perform trephinations will be highlighted.
Join us for
a memorable evening at this historic location!
