Take part in a self-guided museum trail, hosted at the Ashmolean Museum, exploring issues of death, dying and end-of-life care. Adapted from an innovative, award-winning trail forming part of the Oxford medical curriculum, this activity is co-created by a multidisciplinary team spanning the humanities and medical sciences divisions and including the perspectives of expert patient tutors. You can also attend a one-off public discussion event exploring death across different cultural contexts of a diverse society hosted by our panel of experts, on Friday 14 November from 13:00-14:00.
The self-guided trail can be done between museum hours at your own convenience.
Drop in event – no booking required
