I can't believe I've been leading the Accentuate programme for 15 years now! It's been fantastic to see the development and growth of our work and impact in the sector.

Come visit my current temporary exhibition: MAPPING AN UNEVEN PATH: STORIES OF HEALTH AND DISABILITY AT VERULAMIUM 15th November 2024 - 23rd February 2025 Explore what archaeology can tell us about Roman ideas about health and disability. www.stalbansmuseums.org.uk/whats-on/map...

Portrait poster for the exhibition Mapping an Uneven Path: Stories of Health and Disability at Verulamium. In the foreground an illustration of a Roman man with a bandaged leg and walking staff walks along a jagged path. In the background, several other illustrated characters - such as a doctor, a mother and child - stand behind a green mist. Some butterflies float around the image.

A tabletop case containing a number of museum artefacts and labels. They include a small metal votive foot, some coins depicting the Roman goddess Salus, and a 20th century prayer card from a psychiatric hospital.

Two portrait panels on a wall with colourful illustrations. One depicts her mother handing her child to a wet-nurse. The other depicts two Roman veterans; one with a prosthetic arm, the other with scars along his back.

Label in a display case showing some Roman bath tiles. The label is written by a disabled person, and talks about physical access to the baths and body image in the Roman world.
