BLOOD, bile and brains are promised at a university exhibition.
The display, at Durham University’s Wolfson Gallery, in Palace Green Library, Durham City, features early examples of medicine, including diseases and dissection and diagnosis techniques.
For blood, visitors can see William Harvey’s groundbreaking work on circulation. For bile, people can view the Calendrier des Berges, a book featuring a theory of how the stars caused ill health.
For brains, people can see an illustration from Andreas Vesalius’ Fabrica.
The exhibition is open until April 14. The gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 4.45pm.
Entry is £3 for adults, £2 for children and concessions and free for under-fives.
