Understanding Addiction, Minimizing Stigma: Museum Exhibit Explores the Opioid Crisis

February 06, 2020

The opioid crisis has dominated conversations around public health for years, and Indiana has seen its consequences, from numerous opioid-related deaths to the HIV outbreak in Scott County.

A new exhibit at the Indiana State Museum aims to show visitors what it’s like to live with opioid addiction. We talk to the people behind it, as well as a contributor who lived through addiction, about how they put it together.

Produced by Drew Daudelin.
