Discover exhibition 'Fortitude: healthcare workers' experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic' and our fascinating collections after hours. Plus a creative craft cafe!

About

As well as a chance to explore our striking building after work you can also enjoy:

Exhibition talks

There will be specialist curator talks on the current exhibition 'Fortitude' at 6pm and 7pm.

In 2021 we began collecting the experiences of healthcare professionals working in the COVID-19 pandemic. With their permission, the RCP is privileged to share their experiences, in their own words.

Please be aware this exhibition contains images, descriptions and audio recordings relating to illness, death, grief and trauma.

Craft café

Inspired by the craft-making activities that provided solace for healthcare workers and many others during the pandemic we will be hosting a ‘Craft café’.

The Regent’s Perk café will also be open for refreshments.

Explore our collections

Take the opportunity to explore the rest of our museum after hours including:

  • fine art portraits and ceremonial silver
  • the fascinating Symons collection of artefacts which would have been used by physicians and for self-care in the home
  • the Prujean chest of 17th century surgical instruments
  • an extraordinary set of rare 17th-century human remains
