75 years ago the first human trials of penicillin took place. To commemorate this milestone in medical history, the Museum’s special exhibition Back from the Dead traces the miraculous and precarious nature of antibiotics from the 1940s to the present day. Join this curator-led tour in the Special Exhibitions Gallery to discover how penicillin has shaped Oxford and the World.

Curator-led tours of Back from the Dead are running every two weeks.
