On a very warm afternoon specialists in medical museum conservation, specimen preparation, Assistant Pathology Technicians and medical museum curators travelled from near and far to participate in the first ‘Drawing Parallels: artistic encounters with pathology’ workshop at Barts pathology museum. During the three hour workshop they had opportunity to engage with prepared foetal and neonatal specimens in several ways with plenty of time for interesting discussions.
Thank you to everyone who participated.
