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.
