Spotlight: Straitjacket

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 straitjacket. Supported as a mark of medical progress in 1700s Europe, hated by patients and criticised by Victorian reformers - the straitjacket has a controversial history.
