Bite size talk: Tales from HMS Rattlesnake (online)

Tuesday 13 July, 1:30pm

Join Museums Worcestershire’s curators on the 2nd Tuesday of each month for a series of talks about the collections. The year is 1845 and HMS Rattlesnake is due to set sail from Plymouth on a voyage down to Australia to produce hydrographic surveys of the area. Find out what else they got up to, and the items they bought back to Worcester, with Kerry Whitehouse our World Cultures curator.

This event will run online. Online talks are free but donations are welcomed, and registration is compulsory. Bite size talks online are approximately 15 minutes long, plus time for questions via chat box. 

Please consider making a donation: Online talks are free but donations are welcomed (suggested donation £3 – the usual fee for Bite Size Talks). You can do this by booking via Art Tickets through the button above.
