Museum offers medical history

12:15pm Monday 29th June 2009

This weekend you can see a great collection of vintage ambulances at the Thackray Museum in Leeds. Scare your friends with some gruesome face painting using special effects from film and TV, join in the trails around the museum, meet Florence Nightingale and make a Victorian toy. Adding colour and character will be the East Yorkshire Regiment Living History Group, using period uniforms, weapons and equipment to bring history to life. The whole event is free with usual admission charges and activities run from 10am to 4pm each day.
