Wellcome Collection

3.75 stars. Located very close to Euston. Good spot to fill in 90mins. Free. Yep free. I booked but it appears you no longer need to. Something a little different. Useful way to introduce kids but not particularly to interactive. Don't forget to visit the reading room on level 2. Definitely happy that I visited.

Maybe I expected more informational exhibitions after these reviews and the museum's website, but unfortunately I found them small, not creating a cohesive message, slightly boring (spoiled with Science, Natural History, British museums, guess).

The building and the library are beautiful so. The sofas and puffs in the reading room looked comfy and I liked cozy reading vibes in there.

A very interesting series of collections, some really unusual exhibits ranging from art to historical medical curiosity.

For me the highlights of medicine man were the Scott Expedition medical kit and the Everest trip kit. Also, pictured below, the Refugee Astronaut art piece was really visually striking for me.

Shame the gift shop was closed as I would have liked to contribute something back to this institution.

Lovely collection of permanent displays and free exhibitions with free tours/talks as well. Really broad subject matter and great displays. Outstanding reading room with books to borrow and a range of comfy seats (free to use), library also available for those working/studying. Great cafe with reasonable prices as well. All staff were helpful and knowledgable.

A ‘FREE’ museum exploring health and human experience.

The Wellcome Collection is a museum and library based at 183 Euston Road, London, displaying a mixture of medical artefacts and original artworks exploring "ideas about the connections between medicine, life and art".

They have some unusual pieces in their collection and is quite interesting.

Enjoyed our visit.

The reading room / library upstairs is probably my favorite place in central London. Quiet, pretty, with very comfortable bean bags around. There are original, old paintings displayed on the walls. Well lit, spacious room with free sits/bean bags every time I go there. Perfect to chill, study, work - whatever you prefer. And the entrance is free!

Had a pleasant experience visiting the Wellcome Collection! The cafe on the main floor is a great way to start your visit. It’s also a good place to work remotely from but make sure not to make noise in the reading room upstairs. 🤫📚

I love the themes they’re addressing such as Being Human and Joy. Very uniquely designed studio 🤩 Must visit. It’s a short time experience! They are taking precautionary measures and is safe for all ages. They also have a cute cafe to visit once you’re done exploring.
