Exhibition - Bloodletting – New Views on an Old Practice
The exhibition builds on the findings of scientists at the University of Heidelberg who have taken a closer look at the benefits of bloodletting - or, in more modern terms, taking a large amount of blood. It traces the history of this millennia-old medical practice, its application and effectiveness. The exhibition also looks at the biological, cultural-historical and economic dimensions of blood.
It takes place from November 21, 2024 until March 16, 2025 at the Kurpfälzisches Museum, Heidelberg.
The event is co-funded by the Health + Life Science Alliance Heidelberg Mannheim.
