Description
As humankind has developed increasingly sophisticated weaponry with which to harm its enemies, medicine has had to adapt to cope with the volume and the changing nature of resulting casualties. Concentrating on the modern era, 'War and Medicine' will consider the constantly evolving relationship between warfare and medicine, beginning with the disasters of the Crimean War and continuing through to today's conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
'War and Medicine' is the second of a two-part collaboration between Wellcome Collection and The Museum of Man (Deutsches Hygiene-Museum, Dresden).
This exhibition is free. See opening hours
