About
Join us from 5.30pm to explore the fantastic collections throughout our building 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
We will have collections you can get hands-on with from cupping jars to an electro-magnetic machine! Plus, you can have a go at diagnosing historic diseases.
There will be specialist curator talks on the archives, heritage library and museum collections at 6pm and 7pm and our Regent’s Perk café will be open for refreshments.
