In the XIX century Homeopathic Hospital of “San Jose” will take place the lecture of the main speakers at the “Hendrick’s Congress for Curious People”.

Previously, with the help of a guide, we will discover the rooms inside the Homeopathic Hospital of “San Jose” as well as the palace of the Marquis del Salado, both great examples of architecture of the first decade of the Spanish Restoration (between 1874 and 1883). Through the small Museum of Homeopathy we discover the origin and practices of this controversial discipline of medicine with many supporters and detractors from the eighteenth century until today.

Then, in the building of the Hospital we will begin our series of lectures with the following speakers:

Joanna Ebenstein, director of “Morbid Anatomy Museum,” a New York institution dedicated to the study of anatomical and funerary art. She will tell us the exciting process of creating the museum and her journeys around the world in search of the sublime and the macabre.

Servando Rocha, director of “La Felguera editores”, a countercultural editorial exploring the most controversial passages of our recent history.
Dylan Thuras, director of “Atlas Obscura,” the largest virtual compendium of unusual places and secrets around the globe. We will talk about the incredible career of “Atlas Obscura” and the forthcoming book edited by this institution, to be published in mid-2016.
