Fermeture du musée d’histoire de la médecine de l’hôpital universitaire de Berlin

The Board of Berlin’s university hospital, the Charite, are planning to close its medical-historical museum, an institution founded by the pioneering pathologist Rudolf Virchow in 1899 (as his pathology museum).

Times are tough, the financial situation of the Charite is dire, and according to press officer Stefanie Winde, running a museum does not form part of the core competencies of a university hospital (it most  certainly did for Virchow!).

On the museum, see:  http://www.bmm.charite.de/museumtransparent/pathmuseum_e.htm

On the planned closure, see this article in the Berliner Zeitung (in German): http://www.berlinonline.de/berliner-zeitung/berlin/charite-museum/355127.php

Colloque – Alchemy and Medicine from Antiquity to the Enlightenment
CRASSH, University of Cambridge

*Registration now open*

22-24 September 2011
Venue: Peterhouse, University of Cambridge

Alchemists pursued many goals, from the transmutation of metals to the preservation of health and life. These pursuits were continually informed and modified by medical knowledge, while alchemical debates about nature, generation, and the achievability of perfection in turn impacted on medicine and natural philosophy. This three-day international conference will investigate these interactions, from alchemy’s development in late antiquity to its decline throughout the eighteenth century. It will ask how alchemical and medical ideas changed over time, how they reflected the experience of individual readers and practitioners, and the extent to which they responded to significant currents in intellectual, political, religious, and social life.

Keynote lecture: *Bruce T. Moran* (University of Nevada at Reno)

Panel themes include: Elixirs and the prolongation of life; Medicine, alchemy and patronage; The eighteenth-century transmutation of chemical medicine; Books, recipes and secrets; Medical practitioners as alchemists; Shared materials, practices and technologies; The transmission of alchemical and medical knowledge; Histories of alchemy and medicine.

Speakers include:

¢    Chiara Crisciani (Università degli Studi di Pavia)
¢    Andrew Cunningham (University of Cambridge)
¢    Hiro Hirai (Radboud University Nijmegen)
¢    Didier Kahn (CNRS, Paris)
¢    William R. Newman (Indiana University, Bloomington)
¢    Michela Pereira (Università di Siena)
¢    Lawrence M. Principe (Johns Hopkins University)
¢    Nancy Siraisi (City University of New York)
¢    Emma Spary (University of Cambridge)

Programme and online registration at: http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/1408/

Organised by Jennifer Rampling, Peter M. Jones and Lauren Kassell (Department of History and Philosophy of Science, Cambridge). Sponsored by the Centre for Research in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CRASSH), the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry (SHAC), the Chemical Heritage Foundation, the Wellcome Trust ‘Generation to Reproduction’ Strategic Award, and the Society for Renaissance Studies.
