Dr. Sam Alberti (Manchester Museum and University of Manchester) will present “Bodies on display: morbid specimens in nineteenth-century Britain”, will focus on the history of nineteenth century anatomy collections, their ownership, acquisition routes and place in wider culture. This topic should have particular relevance and resonance given debates in recent years over human remains in museum collections, both here and in the UK. Dr. Alberti’s presentation is part of a larger project exploring nineteenth-century anatomy collections. The lecture, which begins at 6:00PM in the Herrick Room, is free and open to the public, and will be followed by a reception in the Powell Room in the Allen Library.
