The Wellcome Collection in London is a public museum and library formed from the collections of Sir Henry Wellcome and administered by the Wellcome Trust. It examines the histories, objects and ideas that connect medicine, science and culture, preserving a varied array of medical instruments, archives, manuscripts and contemporary art. Permanent displays and rotating exhibitions address themes such as health, illness, the body and social attitudes, drawing on materials from across several centuries. Combining scholarly research with public engagement, the institution curates collections, research resources and a programme of talks and events. General visiting arrangements include regular opening days; many permanent displays are free of charge while some temporary exhibitions may require an admission fee, and the building provides facilities to support accessibility and inclusive access. The site is recognised for its cultural importance in framing medical history within broader human narratives.
