About this Event

The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh has a collection of Museum in a Box loan kits which are available for loan to schools in Edinburgh and surrounding areas.

The Inside the Apothecary Jar loan kit allows students to investigate the ingredients of 1600s-1800s medicines in an engaging and exciting way. Through activities students will learn where ingredients are sourced, how medicines from 1600s to1800s were made, and which ingredients physicians used to treat which illnesses.

Inside the Apothecary Jar contains four different activity packs, a folder of archive materials and 12 different objects. It also contains 12 smelling objects for students to investigate and match to their source.
