Hi! Just a bit about us :)
We're a charity based in Exeter, looking after a collection of historic medical equipment, books and artefacts. Currently we have work rooms and store rooms @exetercommunity and exhibitions @nixpriory.

Big thanks to the HODs team for all your hard work!
🌇 As the sun sets on #HODs 2022, we wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has been involved in this remarkable community festival.
To our organisers, volunteers, our national supporters players of @PostcodeLottery, our coordinators @nationaltrust. And to all of YOU.
Question Time with our Young Curators! Have you been in to see the exhibition yet? We're open again at @nixpriory, Sunday 1-4pm with 'Art & Surgery' and some items from the Collection in a handling session!

Featuring @UniofExeter Interns from the @UoEInternships Professional Pathways - they researched, designed, wrote and chose all interpretation and objects to use in the exhibition! Thanks to all their hard work.
We’ve opened the exhibition today! Hope to see you at @nixpriory @heritageopenday

More behind the scenes of our upcoming #exhibition! Cleaning is an essential part of object care & getting them ready for display. Our #YoungCurators carefully brushed the velvet to get out the large particles and dust. #museum #exeter @heritageopenday @nixpriory
A #sneakpeak of our exhibition @nixpriory: Did you know that gold leaf was used by surgeons in skin grafting surgeries? Any guesses why? We'll let you know the answer later today! #museum #exeter #MedicalHistory #heritage @Exeter_Hour @VisitExeter @HeritageOpenDays #YoungCurators
Here's a sneak peak of an item chosen for our upcoming Art & Surgery interactive exhibition @heritageopenday at @nixpriory. We're going to share with you as we clean and mount the box into a case! Enjoy this #unboxing video made by one of our interns:

We’re at St Nicholas Priory for @heritageopenday with an interactive exhibition on Art & Surgery! This has been created by our Young Curators, Macy, Lucy and Holly, from @UniofExeter as part of their Professional Pathways work @visitexeter @judithmorgane @Exeter_Hour #museum
Our aim is a community in contact with heritage - which is why we try to incorporate handling sessions into our events! It gives you the chance to pick up our objects, find out how they work and see what it was like to use them...
That's all for now! In the meantime, take a look at our website for more info and our upcoming events:
