Following on from the city’s successful reBalance Festival of Wellbeing, Bath Medical Museum continues with its own ‘heritage’ programme of Wellbeing through the ages.
Sixteen hundred years ago The Roman Baths withdrew the facility to cast all your cares and woes to one side. The famous lead ‘curses’ on which you damned a thief or asked the gods for help.
Now Bath Medical Museum offers the same opportunity, but not by scratching your worries and frustrations on lead tablets, but ny using paper and a pencil. We will not be throwing the tablets into the sacred waters but burying them in a barrel of gleaming white pebbles.
For more details of stress-relieving activities provided by the museum as part of its Wellbeing programme or its regular Tuesday afternoon sessions go to bathmedicalmuseum.org
The museum also continues to host the fortnightly series of talks by University of Bath 3rd year PhD students.
This coming week Tuesday 5th March 2024:
Health and Well-being Enhancement a Chemical Engineering Approach by Samuel Ashu Abey
Samuel is a Doctoral researcher in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bath who focuses on the use of chemical engineering approaches to remove disease-causing micro-contaminants from water systems.
Successful project development will result in cutting-edge technology in water treatment that will prevent health problems caused by polluted water, such as skin allergies, gastrointestinal difficulties, shocks, and the extinction of aquatic life, among others.
Both the exhibition and talks are free. Find the Bath Museum across the way from the Thermae Spa in the Hetling Pump Room.
