Being Human

‘In Plain Sight’ examines the many ways we see and are seen by others and explores what happens when we open ourselves up to seeing differently.

Wellcome Collection

‘Objects in Stereo’ is a new exhibition by British photographer Jim Naughten that explores the practice of keeping a collection, and asks what it means to keep and care for museum objects.

‘The Healing Pavilion’ is a new art commission by British-Kenyan visual artist Grace Ndiritu, which radically reimagines what textiles and architecture can do in a museum burdened by colonial history.

Our new permanent gallery explores trust, identity and health in a changing world.

Come along to one of the Lights Up sessions to see the ‘In Plain Sight’ exhibition with brighter and more even lighting conditions across the gallery. You’ll have the opportunity to join an audio-described tour of the exhibition during each session.
