PEPTALK Besmet! Coronapandemie in perspectief

Hoe relevant is de tentoonstelling Besmet! in het Leidse Rijksmuseum Boerhaave?! Besmet! laat zien hoe uitbraken van infectieziekten het leven van mensen door de jaren heen hebben beïnvloed. Een formalineketel, pestneus, ‘tyfus-Mary’, persoonlijke beschermingsmiddelen uit het LUMC; het komt allemaal aan bod.

Medisch historica Dr. Mieneke te Hennepe van de afdeling Ethiek en Recht, werkte als conservator aan de tentoonstelling mee. In deze PEPtalk geeft zij u uitleg over de historische aanpak van ziektebestrijding en de relevantie van geschiedenis voor de huidige coronacrisis.
