About the show
Free drop-in activity day at the Physicians’ Gallery.
Plague doctors used pomanders containing flowers and herbs to protect themselves from the deadly plague. But did it work?
Come and learn all about the plague and how it spread. Use real medicinal plants to make your own protective pomander!
Oh no…rats from the 1600s have snuck into the Physicians’ Galley! Can you help us find them all?
All ages welcome
As well as the drop-in activity, the Physicians’ Gallery has a children’s medical library, colouring-in, worksheets and a dressing-up station available every day.
