This February, feed your curious mind with one of the free activity mornings taking place at the Physicians’ Gallery at The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
Come along to What do animals eat? on 17 February and learn about what different animals eat, what they can’t eat and how food keeps them healthy. Explore the fascinating shapes and sizes of animal teeth and discover what they’re built to eat.
Oh no…rats from the 1600s have snuck into the Physicians’ Galley! Can you help find them all? At Make a Pomander on 19 February you can learn all about the plague and how it spread. Plus, use real medicinal plants to make your own protective pomander.
Drop-in activities run from 11am to 2pm on both days. As well as these activities, the Physicians’ Gallery has a children’s medical library, colouring-in, worksheets and a dressing-up station available every day.
The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh is on Queen Street in the city centre. Several of Lothian Buses routes serve the area on a regular basis. The nearest Edinburgh Trams stop is St Andrew Square.
