Step back in time and uncover the curious cures and fascinating treatments of the ancient world.
Join us for a family-friendly exploration of Greek and Roman medicine: discover how ancient physicians diagnosed illnesses, what remedies they prescribed, and how gods like Asclepius played a role in healing. Put on your ancient doctor's hat and get hands-on with ancient medicine in our interactive activities, medical museum trail and crafty cure-making. We're bring ancient healthcare back to life.

This Summer at the Museums event is free and family-friendly. There's no need to book, just drop in.
