'Saving Faces' Art Exhibition & Talk

Barts Pathology Museum is a Grade II Listed medical museum on the site of St Bartholomew's Hospital, and part of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry (FMD) at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). It was built in 1879 for the express purpose of housing anatomical specimens to be used by those studying medicine, and is still in use by QMUL's medical students today, for teaching, exams and study. The museum is therefore only open to the public, alumni and other interested parties for scheduled events organised around academic usage. As a result, these events sell out quickly. To be placed on the mailing list to hear about any open days, workshops or evening lectures email bartspathology@qmul.ac.uk. For further information on similar museums which open to the public, see our page on London Museums of Health and Medicine atmedicalmuseums.org.T﻿he museum, on the 3rd Floor of the Robin Brook Centre, is accessible via a lift, but there are 7 steps which lead into the museum itself which are not accessible.

“About Face” is a multidisciplinary series of events focusing on the face in a medical-humanities arena. The delicate ontological balancing act between life and death, public display and spectacle, ‘being’ and ‘not being’, and how we identify, are some of topics which inspired “About Face” at <A HREF="https://www.qmul.ac.uk/pathologymuseum/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">QMUL’s Pathology Museum</A>. From the first recorded facial surgery in approximately 600 BC to the present, faces have been moulded, manipulated and even made from scratch. Why is this part of the physical body considered our ‘identity’ and what does that mean? In the world of the selfie, are our faces even our selves? What do we see when we look at the faces of others? Does our opinion change depending on the face? Why?
Topics included in this series include face transplants, ‘faces of fear’, facial surgery then and now, death masks and the forensic reconstruction of a skull from this collection. All events include wine, non-alcoholic drinks and nibbles, as well as a chance to see the "Saving Faces" paintings by Mark Gilbert.
