Hospital Histories: the old inside the new

Lisa Temple-Cox

Public art commissioned by Peterborough City Hospital, informed by a public engagement process and school workshops, including research in local museums and archives, and using objects and artefacts donated by the hospital trust. Situated in the windows of the outpatients ward, it represents the history of healthcare in Peterborough and commemorates the opening of the new City Hospital. In collaboration with Natasha Carsberg.
