Britain's What's On Event Guide
Spotlight: Leprosy
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 leprosy. From leprosy-fakers to social stigma, and from the leper hospitals to unusual treatments like insects, excrement and creosote, we explore the history of this fascinating disease.
