Part of the exhibition was a blank wall where visitors were invited to put up feedback on post-its. We also had a visitors’ book, but the wall attracted lively interaction. Some of the post-it texts are presented here.
Stark, stylish – and scary!
Particular touches like the ventilator prop which engages the audio story are what guarantee that this exhibition will haunt every visitor.
Also appreciated the grounding of the scientific descriptions of diseases.
Powerful exhibition – a reminder of the importance of vaccination
Thank you for capturing stories which are often forgotten about in medical history
The manual ventilation piece really took us into Paul’s shoes
Amazing interactive experience, the sound over screen approach is great, feels like there is more space in the brain to really hear and process the stories.
My mother had TB as a child and nearly died. I nearly didn’t exist. She was 11 and spent 10 months in a hospital up in Dublin alone and never seeing her family.
GET YOUR VACCINES! We are so privileged to have these life-saving advancements nobody ever had in human history! Don’t spit on the suffering of everyone before us or waste medicine’s centuries of work.
Excellent exhibition. I nursed for 26 years and am aware of all this history. Thank you for HIGHLIGHTING.
When we forget we repeat.
Incredibly moving – fascinating to hear about this part of history so many would like to forget, while at the same time being so integral memory-wise.
I got COVID for Christmas and it sucked. Get vaccinated. I work in a cancer clinic and the virus can easily kill patients. Don’t stop wearing masks in crowded places, please. .
Spread love, not infectious diseases..
Never stop learning from history.
Poor Kitty O’Brien.
This is not “old” history, but recent. We need to remember so we do not forget.
