Among the photographs is a 1989 picket outside Wellcome plc's shareholders' meeting. The company made AZT, then one of the only HIV drugs, and ACT UP London's first protest was against its price. A co-founder bought shares just to get inside and question the chairman. Wellcome later lowered the price.

The display fills Gallery 3 on level 1. Gordon Rainsford's black-and-white shots of die-ins in Trafalgar Square sit alongside Gideon Mendel's 1993 photographs from Middlesex Hospital's AIDS wards, a 15-minute film about The Landmark centre in south London, and five stories from Through Positive Eyes, from Johannesburg to Port-au-Prince, with new 2026 reflections on aid cuts. Before you leave, you can make your own placard at a table set up for it.

Socialist Worker called the photographs "intensely moving"; Queerguru found the display "simple and clear-cut". A content note covers death, homophobia and a case holding a human umbilical cord. It's free and runs until 30 May 2027.

  • ACT UP versus Wellcome

    Look for the pickets at Wellcome plc's 1989 and 1991 shareholder meetings, shown beside the company's own Retrovir (AZT) packaging and an 'AZT on trial' flyer.

  • John on the ward

    Mendel's 1993 photograph shows John lying on a Middlesex Hospital bed chatting with his partner; the ward sister recalls her own sister being shocked by it in 1993.

  • Angelina Namiba's Memory Store

    The box she filled for her daughter after a 1992 diagnosis, when she was given six months to live: a framed handprint, first trainers and ballet shoes.

  • Chained to Westminster Bridge

    Rainsford's World AIDS Day 1989 photograph of protesters chained to the bridge, near a colour shot of ACT UP's 2025 vigil in Trafalgar Square.

  • The placard table

    A making space where you write your own placard and add it to the display's message of protest.
