Thackray Insights 2024/25

• Should we display human remains in museums?

• Can Queen Victoria’s armpit reveal the origins of antiseptics?

• What was the 20th century’s most dangerous idea?

For over 25 years, Insights has explored groundbreaking discoveries that have shaped the way we look after ourselves, and each other. Each event invites you to delve deep into eye-opening topics and explore the unheard stories of medicine.

Our Insights events take place on select Saturday mornings  and Thursday evenings throughout our Autumn/Winter programme. Choose between three types of event:

• Deep-dive Lecture: Two leading academics present an in-depth look into a topic
• Panel Debate: We invite you to grab a coffee and join the discussion as we quiz a group of experts
• Insights Lates: A lighter, after dark version of our long-running series with chance to explore the museum after hours
