There is typically one large group show annually which mixes scientific and broader informational exhibits about a theme of medical interest with artworks exploring the issues. If you visit, you will also find ‘Being Human’, a permanent exhibition from the collection; and usually one or two smaller shows, often from artists facing a medical challenge. By way of a healthy bonus, the Wellcome may well have the capital’s best institutional café. Paul Carey-Kent selects a ‘Gallery of the Month’, a ‘Show of the Month’, a ‘Work of the Month’ and a ‘Book of the Month’ for his weekly column in FAD. A collection of previous gallery columns, ‘Paul’s Galleries To Go’, is available from FAD Bazaar.
