Wellcome Collection

ScienceArtClosed · Opens 10am

The Wellcome Collection sits at the fascinating intersection of science, medicine, art, and life. Founded on Henry Wellcome's eclectic medical collection, it now hosts exhibitions that explore topics like sleep, pain, consciousness, and play through art, objects, and interactive installations. The reading room is a gorgeous space for quiet contemplation. Thursday late openings until 22:00 are a great way to visit. Always free, always surprising.
