Wellcome Collection is a unique mix of galleries, events, and meeting, reading and eating places where you can consider what it means to be human.

It brings to life Sir Henry Wellcome's vision of a place where people could learn more about the development of medicine through the ages and across cultures.

This impressive building in central London houses three exhibitions, the world-famous Wellcome Library, a cafe, bookshop, conference centre and members' club.

Treat your mind to a visit soon.
