Current Temporary Displays:
- Outside the Asylum (august 2025 to august 2026): The Outside the Asylum project has been possible thanks to public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. Thanks to a successful funding bid we were able to work with History PhD student Maddie Hale to find artefacts hidden in our collection, and research the lives of former patients of the Worcester City and County Pauper Lunatic Asylum.
- 300 Years of the Physical Dictionary (Until April 2026): It is the 300th anniversary of this seventh and final edition of Stephen Blankaart’s The Physical Dictionary. First published in 1684, by its 7th edition it included capital letters at the top of each page for easier searching, a codex of characters and many thousands more terms than in previous editions.
