Fifty objects on what it is to be a person now, including a jukebox of epidemics.
Art & designScience & naturePermanentFree
The Wellcome Collection's permanent gallery, free, on the first floor, and its only one since Medicine Man closed in 2022. Fifty artworks and objects across four sections — Genetics, Minds and Bodies, Infection, and Environmental Breakdown — on what medical knowledge is doing to the way people understand themselves. A refugee astronaut carries their belongings to somewhere unnamed; a bronze sculpture has been perfumed to smell of breast milk and you are meant to lean in; a jukebox plays epidemics. Captions are online in full, and every exhibit has a recorded audio description.
