How do you move Jeremy Bentham's Auto-icon?

In February 2020, UCL’s spiritual founder, Jeremy Bentham, was given a permanent new home in UCL's Student Centre, where he will be showcased and preserved to museum standard.

Until recently, the ‘Auto-Icon’ of the eccentric English philosopher – comprising Bentham’s skeleton and wax head – sat in a wooden box in the corner of the Wilkins Building, dressed in 18th century clothing and holding Bentham’s favourite walking stick known as ‘Dapple’.

Bentham is UCL’s most popular museum exhibit, attracting visitors from all over the world.
