Free talk information

From Doncaster Museum

As part of our talks programme, we put on free ‘Ten Minute Talks’, which are free lunchtime spotlights of items in our collection.

The next one, ‘Medical Stories From The First World War ’, will be delivered by me and I’ll be focussing on two recent acquisitions to the KOYLI collection (a glass eye and an X-ray) as well as the other medical advancements that took place during and after the war. It will take place in the Doncaster Museum space on the first floor.

I’ve attached the poster and repeated the information below if this is of interest to you or if you could push it out to your networks.
