Histories of Sleep

Join us at the British Academy’s first Summer Showcase – a free festival of ideas for curious minds. Wander through the beautiful British Academy building to view 15 exhibits consisting of text panels, interactive elements and audio-visual displays created by the academics we fund. Join Sasha Handley and the team to make your own scent bag, sample some of the smells from a seventeenth century bedchamber, and find out how historic sleep patterns may help us to get a more restful night’s sleep today.
