Description:

This hospital was the place where  One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with Jack Nicholson was shot. Originally the director of the hospital felt the movie would be too demeaning to the patients, but after talking with the director and convincing them to use real patients for some of the crew jobs, he relented. The hospital museum talks about the making of the movie as a small part of its exhibits. The rest of the exhibits talks about the patients, what was trying to be accomplished and the changes in treatment.

From  Wikipedia:a public psychiatric hospital in the U.S. state of Oregon, located in the state's capital city of Salem with a smaller satellite campus in Junction City opened in 2014. Founded in 1862 and constructed in the Kirkbride Plan design in 1883, it is the oldest operating psychiatric hospital in the state of Oregon,[2] and one of the oldest continuously operated hospitals on the West Coast.
