Welcome to the Wellcome

The Wellcome Collection is a "free visitor destination for the incurably curious". Located in central London opposite Euston Station "it explores the connections between medicine, life and art in the past, present and future. The venue offers visitors contemporary and historic exhibitions and collections, lively public events, the world-renowned Wellcome Library, a café, a bookshop and conference facilities."

They are about to undergo a refurbishment of their event space which will include a new restaurant and a bigger auditorium. Building work is due to start soon and is expected to be completed in about 8 months. Before the work begins, they hosted a Summer Party in their 'Medicine Now' gallery last week. Drinks, canapes and access to the current (free) exhibition Souzou: Outsider Art from Japan.

I look forward to seeing the new space in due course.
