Join RAMM Patron Nick Baker for an informative, intimate, sometimes surreal and irreverent look into the world of skulls and a skull collector.

Nick has been a bone collector all his life, fascinated in particular with the many aspects of the skull. In this talk he gets down to the bare bones of the most important collection of bones in the body; on one hand the perfect example of form and function and on the other, a thing of great sculptural beauty.

He will explore the origins, purpose and mechanics of these bones and how they develop, and delve into the realm of symbolism and imagery.

Tickets priced at £10 (£7.50) are available from the Royal Albert Memorial Museum reception in person or by phone using a credit or debit card on 01392 265858 during opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm.
