Join us to explore the Philosophers’ Stone and the secret to eternal life!

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

Our object for this talk is our Ripley Scroll – a 5.5 metre long alchemical scroll filled with illustrations and poems which allegedly contains the secret to the elixir of life.

This 20 minute talk is free but booking is required. The meeting point is in the gallery.
