About Down to the Bone: Exploring the Human Skeleton - 2 week course

Listed Under Online Events / Health and Wellbeing Events / Learning Events / Workshops Events

PLEASE NOTE Tuesday 2nd and 9th March dates have now sold out so new dates added

We all have a skeleton holding us up, but we may only think about it if it causes us problems. This two-week course with human remains conservator Cat Irving will examine the human skeleton using bones from Surgeons' Hall's collections. It will look at what bones are, what they do, what they can tell us about people's lives - and what happens when things go wrong.

No prior knowledge required!
