Reminder from The Old Operating Theatre Musuem: An Evening With The Dead

 

The Old Operating Theatre Museum is hosting another wonderful lecture

Please join us on for an evening with the dead!

 

Wednesday 10t November at 6.30pm

 

 

DEALING WITH THE DEAD

Sentiment Versus Efficiency?

Civilizations are often judged by how they treat the living, but perhaps almost as important is how they treat the dead. This talk, given by Gordon Museum curator Bill Edwards, explores means and methods used of deposing of the dead, from Cro-Magnon man up to the present day and beyond.

 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE:

We strongly advise booking, as places are limited and often in great demand

The museum is very small and has a maximum capacity of only 60 people.
