H is for Hunterian, Hats, Hips and Happy Hour! pre-book your free ticket

Join us for a fun new Lomaz event… we visit the Hunterian Museum, which tells the history of surgery and anatomy through its extraordinary collection of human and animal specimens.

BUT! – We are also going to be extraordinary humans!

For this museum visit, we will all dress in the style of the museum – Victorian ladies and gentlemen with an outrageous steampunk twist!

Dating from 1813, the museum at the Royal College of Surgeons reveals the long history of medical science through stories of innovation, discovery and the body.

We'll see the hundreds of incredible real dissected specimens both human and animal... not for the weak of stomach!

And as the museum shows Victorian London's transformation into a global centre of medical learning, we will transform ourselves into the coolest Victorians the museum has ever seen!

\\ THIS EVENT HAS A TWIST – YOU - IN COSTUME! \\

We will all arrive in costumes that are befitting the era of the museum itself — with a sexy steampunk twist. Think corsets and cogs, top hats and goggles, waistcoats and wonder. The bolder the better; the hosts will be judging openly and with a LOT of enthusiasm. The best costumes WIN! (...applause and showers of compliments!)

So, sign up now and start trawling charity shops for tweed or military jackets, silk ruffles, leather trousers, accessorize via Amazon or Temu (order fast - don't forget the 2 week delivery time from Temu!) with goggles, corsets, leather harnesses, Victorian costume jewellery, jabots and lace cuffs.
