LONDON | The Wellcome Collection describes itself as “The free destination for the incurably curious”, and is one of the lesser known museums in London. It explores the connections between medicine, life and art in the past, present and future. It was established under Sir Henry Wellcome’s will in 1936, and features several rooms full of interesting objects, books and information.
Make sure you visit the library, which contains over 2 million items from an ancient Egyptian prescription to the papers of Sigmund Freud, and do pay a visit to Wellcome’s Reading Room on the 2nd floor, where you can read in a relaxing space, or simply have a rest in an absolutely exquisite, lesser-known setting, away from the crowds outside.
And if that makes you crave for more, there are always a number of interesting and free exhibitions going on in the building that you can visit, before settling down for a cup of tea at the lovely in-house café or restaurant.
