A Museum of Mental Health
By Linda Tancs
Oregon’s historic State Hospital, formerly known as the Oregon Insane Asylum, was once used as the filming location for the Academy Award-winning movie, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Located in Salem, it’s also the site of the Oregon State Hospital Museum of Mental Health. The venue explores the history of mental illness and its treatments, featuring diagnostic and treatment equipment as well as artifacts, documents, photographs and recordings that share the stories of the people who have lived and worked in the hospital. The facility is located on the first floor of the Kirkbride Building on the campus of the hospital.
