Wellcome Collection
About Wellcome Collection
Wellcome Collection is a free destination for the incurably curious. Explore what it means to be human through a unique mix of galleries, events and meeting, reading and eating places.
This year’s changing exhibitions explore mental illness at the turn of the century and today; the curious and grotesque story of the anatomical model, and what makes us different from another in a show about human identity. Most shows are accompanied by related events and tours.
Upstairs Medicine Now and Medicine Man present exhibits spanning six centuries, from the bizarre to the beautiful, the ancient to the modern, including a Peruvian mummified male, Darwin’s walking stick, a gastrointestinal camera the size of a baked bean and a robot used in the human genome project.
