Join us to explore the history of exercise

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 Victorian exercise. Across Europe bodybuilders and showmen like Eugen Sandow toured music halls, demonstrating their great feats of strength. At the same time Victorians were taking up gymnastics and huge open air public gymnasiums were established in many cities, including Edinburgh.

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.
