I did a search but couldn’t find anything about this, so thought I’d post, having been today.

It’s an exhibition about witchcraft and superstition over the centuries, with some amazing stuff on show. Highlights included a crystal owned by Dr John Dee, a human heart in a lead casket, and a poppet from the early 20th century.
The highest of high points for me was a length of material that Helen Duncan had apparently used as “ectoplasm” in a seance held in the village where I went to school (strange coincidence thread, perhaps....?)
Well worth a look!
