About This Event

A curator-led talk titled 'Spotlight: Leprosy' will be held at the Physicians Gallery in Edinburgh on 28 April 2027 at 12:30. The talk will explore the history of leprosy, including its social stigma and historical treatments.

Join us to explore the history of leprosy

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 history of leprosy. From leprosy-fakers to social stigma, and from the leper hospitals to unusual treatments like insects, excrement and creosote, we explore the history of this fascinating disease.

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

Find out more about our Gallery on our website (https://www.rcpe.ac.uk/heritage/physiciansgallery).
