About this Event

Join us at the Physicians’ Gallery on the last Wednesday of every month at 12.30pm for a curator-led talk exploring some of the objects on display in our gallery.

Our topic for this talk is the medicinal use of antimony. Poisonous, vomit-inducing, illegal and in high demand, antimony was the go-to medicine for fashionable types.


This 20 minute talk is free, but booking is required. The meeting point is in the Gallery.

Find out more about our Gallery on our website.
