30 June – 29 October 2023 Leicester Museum & Art Gallery  Monday to Friday: 11am – 4.30pm Saturday and Sunday: 11am – 5pm Free admission – no booking The National Health Service was created 75 years ago. Over the decades, it has faced huge pressures – never more so than today. Yet the NHS and the millions of people who sustain it remain close to all our hearts. From the very beginning, people have come to Britain from all over the world to make this grand vision for a better society a reality. But their vital role has largely been ignored. This new national touring exhibition from the Migration Museum shines a light on the stories and experiences of people who have come to Britain to work in the NHS through photography, film, oral histories and an immersive experience that brings together singing and storytelling.  The exhibition is at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery until 29 October 2023. Visit the Leicester Museum & Art Gallery website to find out more and plan your visit     Accompanying events and workshops We are staging a series of events accompanying the exhibition.
