What you'll do

Join facilitators from our visitor experience and library teams to explore posters and prints of mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.

We'll have material from our collection on display, including graphic imagery warning of the risks of malaria, dengue and yellow fever. Highlights include work by British designer Abram Games.

Our facilitators will be on hand to discuss the stories behind the material and the history of public health messaging.
