Join us to explore ‘the curse’!
Join us at the Physicians’ Gallery on the last Wednesday of every month at 12.30pm for a curator-led talk exploring one of the objects on display in our Gallery.
Our topic for this talk is the history of menstruation – what people said about it (and what they didn’t say!), as well as some euphemisms and dubious treatments.
This 20 minute talk is free, but booking is required. The meeting point is in the Gallery.
