Cholera Day Takeover

Created by Wellcome Collection

Drop in for an array of activities exploring the history of cholera.

Join us for a day of activities exploring the history of cholera and its links to freshwater. You’ll have the chance to take part in a craft workshop, smell the stinky streets of Victorian London, and look at historical maps and illustrations from our collection as we investigate cholera’s relationship to the history of toilets and public health. The events are led by facilitators.

Scroll down for full details, times and locations. All events are drop-in and relaxed, so you can just show up and come and go as you please.

A BSL interpreter will be available throughout the day – you can ask a member of staff if you need BSL support.
