Wellcome Collection
Sure you’ve got all the really well-known museums in London that all the tourists cram into everyday. But there are some more under-the-radar beauts that really deserve your attention. Like the Wellcome Collection. Showcasing a more eccentric set of permanent galleries and temporary exhibitions this museum and library has got so many fascinating nooks and crannies that you can lose hours exploring.

The primary collection originally came from Sir Henry Wellcome as he amassed a huge collection of books, paintings and historical objects of medical, sexual and environmental nature. Highlights include a Black Madonna painting, Napoleon’s toothbrush and Shinto and Buddhist shrines. Additionally they have a year-round set of exhibitions that you shouldn’t miss, from an exploration of our relationship with air, a meditative reflection on the world of plants and fungi, and a climate crisis festival.
