For over a century medical museums have presented the history of clinical and scientific achievements, their collections celebrating the undeniable achievements of the heroes of modern medicine: Hunter, Jenner, Lister, Wellcome, Fleming. But what of their patients? What of the populations whose lives were impacted by vaccination, antisepsis and Penicillin? This lecture by RCS Museums and Archives Director Sam Alberti will review recent exhibitions and other artistic and historical projects that have interrogated medical collections to tell the patients’ stories.
