Being Human

Scroll through fragments of the artist’s life story of growing up black, disabled and working class in the 1980s in this interactive artwork.

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 Dr Rafael Schacter for a Perspective Tour of ‘The Healing Pavilion’.
