Exhibitions
2024: Heritage Open Days - 'Who does the museum really belong to?'
In 2024, we ran a co-curated exhibition that asked you to contribute to a community collection and help us create a network of knowledge! Find out more about the collection, Exeter's asylums, and representation of women in healthcare as we ask - whose stories are told?
LOCATION: Exeter Phoenix.
This exhibition is now closed, if you would like to know more about it, please contact our Coordinator.
ONLINE: "My life", written by LUER the hypodermic syringe
Read through our first online exhibition. Luer is one example of the numerous small, unattractive, medical instruments produced since the 1850s. In this autobiography, Luer the lowly syringe takes us through past and present uncertainties in medicine for physicians, patients, writers, artists, and policy makers.

Chosen by voluteers and trustees, several items were chosen to show the range of items in our collection. Specially curated by our intern, Lucy.
LOCATION: St Nicholas Priory, Exeter.
This exhibition is now closed, if you would like to know more about it, please contact our Coordinator.
