Move out of the bright sun and into the Museum to learn all about how people fought illness and mourned losses in the Victorian era.

"His cries are at times awful, but the silences that follow are more deadly still, for he means murder in every turn and movement" - Bram Stoker, Dracula (1897)

Museum educators will facilitate an interactive session with peculiar objects from the Museum’s handling collection that reflect a ghostly history of disease, murder, and death...

This drop-in handling session will take place from 11:30 to 13:00 on Wednesday, 29th October in Reception at Collins Barracks.
