Adult lecture: Leonardo da Vinci in the history of dissection (Talk with speech-to-text)

Speaker: Professor Helen King, Medical Historian

This lecture examines how human dissection was seen in the time of Leonardo da Vinci. What was its place in the medical curriculum, and was it supported or condemned as a way of finding out the truths of the body? How did Leonardo gain access to human bodies, and what did he do with the information he found there?

Lecture tickets are £5.00. but as it also gives access to the exhibition all visitors must have either a valid 1-Year Pass or a standard gallery ticket, which is £9.25 / £8.50. If you buy a standard gallery ticket for the first lecture, you can convert this into a 1-Year Pass and then come to the other lectures for only the lecture price.

Booking is essential.
