Wellcome Collection

The Wellcome Collection, also known as the Wellcome Collection, located near Euston train station in central London, is an alternative museum themed on the history of medical science. The collection of the Wellcome Collection is mainly from the founder Sir Henry Wellcome, a eccentric collector with a hobby of uniqueness, specializing in the collection of exotic medical supplies from all over the world from the end of the 19th century. Different from the solemn and solemn exhibition style of other famous museums, this one focuses on the "collision of medicine and art, life, time and space", and the display can be described as weird or even heavy. All kinds of strange exhibits, from ancient prosthetics, early artificial eyes, dolls used in anatomy courses in the 18th century, to Chinese acupoint maps, wrongly deformed human skeletons, various anatomical models, etc. can be seen. Due to the weird style of the collection that is different from the conventional aesthetic, some people may be very interested, while others may feel uncomfortable or creepy, but they will all leave a deep impression. Here you can learn about the process of many misunderstandings and cognitive changes about life and the body from ancient times to the present, and how medicine has developed step by step to the present stage. In addition to the permanent exhibitions, the temporary exhibitions at the Wellcome Collection are not to be missed. The theme of each temporary exhibition is very attractive and can also generate a lot of discussion. For example, about the heart, sleep and dreams, forensics and death scenes, etc. The museum has also launched a lot of "playable" activities, such as interesting science lectures, interactive games hosted by employees, and a "mistake" experience that can be collaborated with peers...;...; There are many fashionable young people who often have fun here . There is a library reading room on the third floor, which encourages visitors to come and gain knowledge by reading and feeling. There are a lot of illustrated materials in the reading room. The space is divided into different functional areas by various interesting things.
