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.

Join a scientist, a medievalist and a conservator – in the Wellcome Collection building or online – to hear about their research on a medieval English birthing girdle, Ms.632.
