Join us to explore the banning and censoring of scientific books

Join us at the Physicians’ Gallery on the last Wednesday of every month at 12.30pm for a curator-led talk exploring some of the objects on display in our gallery.

Our topic for this talk is the banning and censoring of scientific books – especially during the 1500s Catholic Inquisition showing the impact of censorship on the advancement of medicine and other sciences.
