The Wellcome collection’s Medicine Life + Art opens on 21 June in London. The venue is open every day, with galleries open from Tuesdays to Sundays. Exhibitions and events are free. There is also a library, conference centre and club, as well as a cafe and the inevitable shop.

The exhibitions present a rich picture of the cultural and social implications of medicine past and present, through three galleries including exhibits and artworks from Henry Wellcome’s original collection, as well as current medical topics such as obesity, genetics and malaria through the eyes of scientists, artists and patients. The opening programme includes exhibitions about the heart as well as sleeping and dreaming, examining each subject from a scientific, cultural and social perspective.
