The museum’s permanent closure comes after pandemic-related funding shortfalls

SHAWNEE, Kan. – October 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Though the Medicine’s Hall of Fame & Museum in Shawnee, Kansas, opened for public tours in early 2020, its origins began much earlier. Physician Dr. Bruce Hodges spent a lifetime collecting nearly 5,000 medical artifacts from around the world to display them in a museum to bring light to the history of medicine. After years of preparing the museum’s exhibits, just before it was set to open, COVID-19 pandemic restrictions limited the museum’s ability to fully open. Low attendance numbers created financial challenges that ultimately led to its closure. Now, the collections, which include rare antique medical equipment, Native American and African tribal medicinal practice artifacts, early apothecary items and other unique instruments of medicine, will be sold at a Mayo & Auction Realty online auction in November.

Dr. Hodges and his son Robin carefully curated the displays and exhibits that tell the storied past of medicine as practiced by cultures around the world. “In the 1970s, I decided to open a medical museum,” says Dr. Hodges. As a practicing physician and a missionary in Uganda, he traveled to many African countries collecting the artifacts. “I always intended to put the items in a museum,” he adds.

The museum has sold the building and will sell the artifacts and museum fixtures in an online auction. Notable items include a rare pediatric iron lung from the 1940s used to treat the polio virus; a Chippewa wood and rawhide medicine drum; a Nigerian Yoruba tribe chieftain sash circa 1880; a late 1800s Kratzer Carriage Company horse-drawn doctor’s buggy; George Washington Presidential Peace medals from 1789-95; rare apothecary bottles and jars; and a Columbian antique dental chair in which Dr. Louis Gebhardt was beaten to death by a patient on Nov. 1, 1904.

One of his most memorable acquisitions for Dr. Hodges is a doctor’s saddle bag originating from the 1880s. “I had a patient call me and tell me she saw a newspaper advertisement for an estate auction that had medical items for sale, and she thought I’d be interested in them,” says Dr. Hodges. “So I drove more than 60 miles to the auction only to find that there was just one medical item in the sale, and it would be selling as the last item. After having waited all day at the auction, I was determined to be the winning bidder on the doctor’s saddle bag.” What makes the saddle bag so special is the nearly complete set of corked topped medicine vials and bottles contained inside.

The sheer quantity and variety of unique and rare artifacts is difficult to describe. Fortunately, the over 4,000 artifacts will be displayed and offered to the public in multiple online auction catalogs ending the same week in early November. 

The online auction, conducted by Mayo Auction & Realty of Belton, Missouri, will provide the opportunity for other collectors and museums to purchase these unique items. “We are honored to work with Dr. Hodges and the Medicine’s Hall of Fame & Museum. Throughout our process, we are dedicated to honoring the history of the artifacts and focused on finding enthusiastic and dedicated caretakers for every item in the museum,” says Robert Mayo, chief executive officer and auctioneer at Mayo Auction & Realty.

Photos and descriptions of the items will be posted in multiple online catalogs and bidders can place bids from anywhere on their mobile devices, tablets or computers. In-person previews will be on Friday, Nov. 4, from 2-6 p.m. at 6305 Lackman Road, Shawnee, Kansas. Online bidding ends Monday, Nov. 7.

NEW YORK – October 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

The Dubai-based entertainment marketing agency that has been a Middle East business conduit for Web3 behemoth Unstoppable Domains and celebrities-turned-entrepreneurs, including Tyra Banks, Kevin O’Leary, Metta World Peace and many others, has officially launched Maven Global Access, an international expansion consultancy focused on supporting women and other business owners from under-represented groups. Washington DC-based investment and entrepreneurship moguls Patrice King Brickman and Kate Goodall join Dubai-based African American marketing pioneer and three-time “Top 100 Most Influential” entrepreneur Sarah Omolewu as business partners.

The three women entrepreneurs have dedicated their careers to leveraging their resources, expertise and industry relationships to create economic opportunities for under-represented founders. The U.S.-based partners are formidable female business magnates who have incomparable business networks that span across major global cities such as Washington D.C, New York, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Singapore.

The news arrives at a time when Gulf nations are successfully circumnavigating the looming threat of a global recession. Referred to as the “resurgent entrepot” in the September issue of The Economist, the Dubai stock market has seen 9% growth this year, while the economy in Saudi Arabia is projecting one of the world’s fastest growth rates at 7.6%. 

Maven Global Access also supports governments at all levels to design their strategy for investment promotion and provide capacity-building initiatives to their teams. The organization’s services include investment facilitation, government relations and business development, while placing an emphasis on destination and trade marketing. 

In the pipeline, Maven Global Access will facilitate an upcoming trade delegation in tandem with the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix which will see celebrity entrepreneurs and business leaders such as Kevin O’Leary and legendary Manchester United Football Player Patrice Evra converge in the UAE capital to attend the event and further develop economic ties. 

The three women are no strangers to the unique struggles of being tenacious and effective but under-represented entrepreneurs. Omolewu said, “As a black woman trying to build a business, it’s been an uphill battle at times trying to earn the respect of the decision-makers and gatekeepers along my journey,” she explained. “Patrice and Kate are experienced investors across all sectors, including sports and tech – industries still tackling underrepresentation, so they get it. It is humbling to have earned their respect and have them join Maven Global Access as equity partners.”
