Curator Talk: Objects, Stories and Curation

9th December 2026
Thackray Museum of Medicine

Get behind the scenes of Where Magic Grows with the people who brought it to life.

Join our Curator, Jack Gann, for a deeper dive into our latest exhibition, Where Magic Grows. Learn about the fascinating objects in the exhibition and why they were selected. Hear the stories behind them, explore the ideas and research that shaped the exhibition and find out what sparked our team’s curiosity along the way.

What to expect:
– A guided tour of Where Magic Grows
– A behind-the-scenes talk exploring the objects, design, research and ideas that shaped the exhibition
– A Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and hear insights directly from the team.
– Time to explore the rest of the museum at your own pace

From plants and medicine to folklore, art and storytelling, each Curator Talk offers a fresh perspective on the exhibition and the many ways we connect with the natural world.
