Want to Explore An Apothecary's Dream?
Walking up to Higgins House…
An Apothecary Dreams was open for three days in October 2025. As an ongoing archival project, PhD candidate Max Chen made an explorable recording of the installation on its first night and Katherine is working to populate it with photographs from the full run, links to primary sources, guides toward modern apothecary work, and more, all to help create a digital archive of this interactive experience and a learning resource for those interested in pursuing their own Early Modern research.
