About this event
A drop-in display on poisons in medicine, culture and fashion, built from printed reproductions of Wellcome's collection and a set of deliberately unsettling fragrances. Mandrake folklore, witches' flying ointment, and the long human habit of using the same substance to harm and to heal. Staff are on hand, or you can take a booklet and explore alone.
