Five free reasons to check out Wellcome Collection this summer
One of the best things about London is that it’s full of surprises. Follow a road you’ve never peeked down before, and you could well be stepping into a whole new side of the city. Often, the best finds are just under your nose – for example, did you know that less than five minutes’ walk from Euston station, you’ll find a treasure trove of collections, exhibitions and events that blend art, science, health and human experience together – which are always free, all the time?
Wellcome Collection is a museum, library and art gallery with exhibitions dedicated to the expansive topics of health, the body, and ultimately, what it means to be human, so it makes a fascinating and unusual – not to mention budget-friendly – day out in central London. This summer, the place is fit to burst with brilliant things to see and do, so here are five reasons to visit and find out more.
