Macabre Medieval And Renaissance Objects At The Victoria & Albert Museum - A Cosy Halloween Tour

It's the spooky season once again! Flayed saints, brutal murders, rotting corpses, and the weirdly erotic cult of Jesus's side wound - it's all here at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

This is Episode 1 of a Four Part Series all about the goriest and most macabre objects in the V&A. New episodes will be released weekly until Halloween!
