Review:

The Wellcome Collection is a unique free-admission museum that showcases original artwork and medical industry artifacts, striving to explore the connection between medicine, life, and art. The museum, which markets itself as a space for the "incurably curious," was founded in 2007 as part of the Wellcome Trust, the cultural organization originally founded by 19th-century traveler and philanthropist Sir Henry Solomon Wellcome. Today, it attracts more than 700,000 annual visitors, showcasing contemporary and historic exhibitions presenting items from Wellcome's personal collection. Exhibition spaces include a postcard wall that encourages visitors to contribute their own artwork and an art display area showcasing major works by Pablo Picasso and Anthony Gormley. A cafe and reading room are also offered onsite, along with a research library holding a collection of books, manuscripts, and films on the history of medicine from prehistoric times through the present day.
