Meet some creepy and colourful characters from the medical past

By Caroline King - May 12, 2013Posted in : Museum, Science and Technology

Night at the Medical Museum - Thackray Museum, Leeds When: 18th May 2013, 6pm – 9pm

Where: Thackray Medical Museum, Beckett Street, Leeds LS9 7LN

What is it?

Are you brave enough to wander the corridors of the Victorian workhouse after hours as the museum comes alive?

Watch as re-enactors bring history to life in front of your eyes and meet the creepy and colourful characters from the medical past.  See what the surgeon says about amputations and what is ailing the people of 1842 in the recreated street.  All this plus a family trail and activities.
