X-Ray Vision: A Look Into the Past

October 20, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

On display will be a corpse preserver from 1870. This special walnut box was used to preserve human remains before the common practice of embalming.

UConn Tech Park, Connecticut Museum of Culture and History Museum and Library, and CT Tech Council bring you a special evening of looking into the past using high-tech research equipment.

UConn has spent hours doing 3D imaging and the results will be shared publicly for the first time at the event. Learn how science is being used to study history and be amazed. This event is family-friendly and open to all ages. Food and drinks will be served. Advance RSVP requested.
