The Turn Of The Century Electrotherapy Museum

Quick Introduction

I’m Jeff Behary, curator of this unusual museum of electricity, light, radiation, and forgotten medical machines.

For over 30 years, I’ve been collecting, documenting, and preserving technologies that most people never knew existed—some brilliant, some bizarre, and some downright dangerous.
None of these devices are here to sell you a cure. They’re here to tell a story: the strange and complicated history of science, quackery, and invention.

This is history “warts and all”—a mix of wonder, caution, and inspiration. I hope it sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and maybe even inspires you to help bring back the spirit of bold innovation.

Full Introduction

Welcome to The Turn Of The Century Electrotherapy Museum. In truth, it’s your museum too—because without someone to share these stories with, the machines and artifacts here would be little more than forgotten curiosities.

What began as a small collection to showcase the oddities of medical quackery and forgotten therapies has grown into something much larger: a research hub dedicated to the history of electricity, radiation, light, and high-energy physics. 
For more than 30 years, I’ve been chasing down stories, artifacts, and technologies that were often undocumented—or even erased—from history.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the millions of images and artifacts gathered here tell volumes. Like life itself, this collection grew out of chaos and curiosity. 
What started without much plan or reason became a calling: to preserve, document, and share a history that was slipping through the cracks.

Let me be clear: none of the devices you’ll see here are being promoted for medical use. Many are unsafe, and some are outright dangerous. But they also represent real milestones in science and industry—innovations that shaped the modern world. 
This is history, “warts and all,” not a sales pitch. My goal is to educate, not to deceive, and to show how complex, fascinating, and at times unsettling this story truly is.

The museum houses artifacts from around the world, some dating back to the 1700s, though the majority are American-made. 
The United States was once a center of bold invention, and I hope this collection inspires people to revive that spirit of creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation. 
We need skilled hands, curious minds, and the courage to rediscover lost knowledge.

This museum is more than a collection of machines—it’s a reminder of where we’ve been, how far we’ve come, and how much potential still lies ahead.
