Follow a Plague Doctor from Prague
Event Actions
Step back into time and virtually experience the empty streets of Prague during the Black Death and plagues of the 17th and 18th centuries.
This event is for Honors College students only.
Through video, we’ll follow the footsteps of Dr. Alexander Schamsky, an unknown Czech hero who fought the plague in 1713. From the “personal protective equipment” of the time to the deserted landmarks of the city, you’ll immerse yourself in the forgotten history of the pneumonic and bubonic plagues.
