The Wellcome Collection, also known as the Wellcome Collection, located near Euston train station in central London, is an alternative museum themed on the history of medical science. The collection of the Wellcome Collection is mainly from the founder Sir Henry Wellcome, a eccentric collector with a hobby of uniqueness, specializing in the collection of exotic medical supplies from all over the world from the end of the 19th century. Different from the solemn and solemn exhibition style of other famous museums, this one focuses on the "collision of medicine and art, life, time and space", and the display can be described as weird or even heavy. All kinds of strange exhibits, from ancient prosthetics, early artificial eyes, dolls used in anatomy courses in the 18th century, to Chinese acupoint maps, wrongly deformed human skeletons, various anatomical models, etc. can be seen. Due to the weird style of the collection that is different from the conventional aesthetic, some people may be very interested, while others may feel uncomfortable or creepy, but they will all leave a deep impression. Here you can learn about the process of many misunderstandings and cognitive changes about life and the body from ancient times to the present, and how medicine has developed step by step to the present stage. In addition to the permanent exhibitions, the temporary exhibitions at the Wellcome Collection are not to be missed. The theme of each temporary exhibition is very attractive and can also generate a lot of discussion. For example, about the heart, sleep and dreams, forensics and death scenes, etc. The museum has also launched a lot of "playable" activities, such as interesting science lectures, interactive games hosted by employees, and a "mistake" experience that can be collaborated with peers...;...; There are many fashionable young people who often have fun here . There is a library reading room on the third floor, which encourages visitors to come and gain knowledge by reading and feeling. There are a lot of illustrated materials in the reading room. The space is divided into different functional areas by various interesting things. There is an electronic dissection table in the middle and a special discussion area, where content-rich activities are often held. In addition, there are cafes and restaurants in the museum. If you are tired from shopping, you can come and have a sandwich to replenish your physical strength. Don't miss the shop in the gift department, which is filled with interesting souvenirs made of medical paraphernalia, such as brain-shaped ice trays, blood-bag-shaped body washes, red blood cell postcards, etc. It is absolutely unique to buy some to take home.
a great, newly built art gallery near euston square. the current exhibition ‘the cult of beauty’ is worth to check it out
If you go by subway, get off at Warren Street subway station and turn right at the second door. It is free, fun, the staff is very kind and very helpful. I watched the Smoke and Mirrors show. Everything in the show was fun. Now I'm going to buy a magic box. Thank you all.
The exhibition at the Wellcome Collection focuses on medicine, with permanent exhibitions on medicine, some modern art and medical themes and a large exhibition on dentistry to conduct research to prevent the spread of diseases, etc.
I visited the exhibition “Smoke and Mirror: Magical Psychology” and it was really great and I loved it. There are lots of interesting videos and crafts to enjoy. I also wanted to go back and see their new permanent exhibition, which is accessible to all.
Overall it is not bad, I recommend everyone to see
