7:30pm-9:00pm on Thursday 27 March
Cambridge University Library, West Road, CB3 9DR
All are invited to join Cambridge University Library for a first look as we celebrate the launch of our new exhibition, 'Curious Cures: Medicine in the Medieval World'.
How did people treat illness and live healthily many centuries ago? How was the body thought to function? And who studied and practised medicine? Illuminated by medieval manuscripts from libraries across Cambridge, this exhibition explores a complex and intriguing world of bodily humours, herbal recipes, ritual healing, star-gazing and surgery.
Drinks will be available to purchase to enjoy in our fabulous Art Deco building. All welcome. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
