Image of a colourful, rectangular board featuring text. The heading reads 'Fake News: Demystifying Jeremy Bentham'
Jeremy Bentham's preserved body, or auto-icon, came to UCL in the 1800s. Over the centuries, many myths have been told about Bentham: both about his life and after death. This exhibition aims to set the record straight.


Is Bentham the founder of UCL? Does his auto-icon attend UCL Council meetings? Who stole his head (and used it as a football)?

Come and separate the fact from the fiction.
