WHICH CAME FIRST? THE SCIENCE OR THE STORY?

Inspired by some of the histories held within the Museum's collection, herbal storyteller Amanda Edmiston (Botanica Fabula) weaves threads connecting the objects to ancient myths and legends, creating stories accentuated by extraordinary, multisensory, botanical elements to reveal the hidden science often shared in fantastical tales.

Prepare to hear about intrepid inventors, fabulous age defying Phoenix and extraordinary medical discoveries in this family session, suitable for all ages.

Warning! There may be pungent potions and unusual tastes to explore along the way!

Please note this event is being held at the George Marshall Medical Museum, part of the Charles Hastings Education Centre on the site of the Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
