Do you have some rather strange and alarming medical items in your collections? Not sure what they are, what they did (eek), or how you can make use of them? Then the next SHCG seminar could be for you! See below for more details and please find the booking form attached.
Marvellous Medicines:
Making the Most of Medical Collections
From the numerous drug jars, surgical implements and anatomical drawings held by the specialist medical museums to the odd tooth extractor, pill box or hernia truss we find in our social history stores, many of us are faced with medical objects in our curatorial work. This seminar explores just what you can do with them, from the basics of knowing exactly what it is you've got to taking inspiration from those objects for inventive events, displays and projects. You will also be taken on a guided tour around the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, Scotland's oldest museum. This event is being run in partnership with UKMCG (UK Medical Collections Group).
Venue: Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh
Date: Friday 24th September 2010
Time: 10.00 - 4.00
Cost (including lunch): £35 SHCG/UKMCG members
£40 non-members
