Wellcome Collection

I've been to this museum several times throughout the years, and it's always a lovely experience. There are 2 floors with main exhibitions, some of which change regularly, and activity areas for kids and a cafe in the main entrance. The place is fully accessible for people with disabilities.

Another outstandingly memorable visit to The Wellcome Collection - The Cult of Beauty and Jason and the Adventure of 254.
This is one of my favourite places to visit in London. The venue is amazing, clean, spacious. Facilities well looked after. The exhibitions change frequently enough to keep me coming back. A gem.

It is a very memorable and multifunctional museum. The first floor has a splendid art gallery with gender and sex history themes exhibit, and on the second floor, they have a bit of a collection related to science and medicine history on the second floor, and on the top floor, there is a very nice reading room that also displays the number of oil paintings and is there a pillow on the staircases where you can just lie down and read a book. There’s also a library, but this time I didn’t go because it was locked up and it seems like it is a very nice library. The gift shop is also worth checking out today for some unique products. This place is a part of welcome trust it’s not just educational, but also enlightening.

Exhibitions, nice cafeteria and a library all together in one building. You can visit an exhibition, then drink your coffee or tea, eat some delicious food or dessert, finally go to the library and read some nice books in that beautiful architecture.

I visited the Welcome Collection Museum & Library primarily to see the exhibition The Cult of Beauty but was lucky to also see the Welcome Collection- Being Human which was intriguing and thought provoking. And then….there was the bonkers but fun Jason and the Adventures of 254 by Jason Wilsher-Mills. The story of his childhood hospitalisation and his experience of becoming disabled at a young age are the background narrative but the exuberance of childhood shines out. Get along to see it if you can!

I went to the Welcome Collection for the first time, and it was such a blast! I had an amazing time exploring the fascinating exhibits, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

It's free to enter and the building is super accessible, so it's easy to get around. There are free lockers available to store your coats and belongings.

If you're looking for a place to study, the library and reading room on level 2 are top-notch and super beautiful.

The Welcome Collection is conveniently located near Euston station, so if you're into science, art, and history, it's definitely worth checking out. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Situated on the busy Euston Road Opposite Euston station.
They Have a lot of interesting exhibitions that are free to attend no bookings necessary.
The cult of Beauty is on at the moment from October 26th until 28th April. The gallery is closed Mondays However shop Cafe/restaurant and Library are open.

I have been living in London for many years now, but only discovered this gallery/museum recently.
I really liked the way you could interact with the exhibitions, you can have one guide and headphones device to listen to it. The exhibitions were all free and including maps and explanation leaflets.
There is a cafe and a cute shop, definitely recommend to visit!

Wellcome Collection in London is a delightful discovery for science and art enthusiasts, offering tranquil spaces for reading books and a charming café to complement the experience.

Highly recommended!!!

This is my 6th visit to this multi functional establishment that holds exhibition rooms, a cafe and a gorgeous reading room. There is free use of spacious lockers to store big backpacks/coats/brolleys and the loos are clean!
The latest exhibition is called ‘The Cult of Beauty’. I get inspired when I attend exhibitions and I shall use the Italian saying ‘Bello e buono!’ in my design on a mug I am painting for my son.
I intend to use the design on the next photo below for another pottery ware.
It is interesting that in the past tea cups were made to accommodate those with beards…
Some exhibits were quite interactive and I loved seeing the transformation of a 64 year old after having Botox (but it’s a repeat procedure as it wears off after a few months). Unsurprisingly, the Botox industry itself runs in the billions.
Finally. I did not know that the most number of rhinoplasty procedures are conducted in Iran. Of course, double eyelid surgery is hugely popular in China and in other South Asian countries.
A visit is a must even just for use of the cafe.

There were three free exhibitions and we needed to get tickets beforehand for only one of them as it was the busiest one.

I went to the Cult of Beauty exhibition, and (as well as that being fantastic on its own) I loved this place! The fact that it is free is great, but from my experience you wouldn't feel cheated if you did pay. The fact that the lockers were free alone was enough to make me love them instantly - when do you see that service for free anywhere?! It's a welcoming, accessible place, with a lovely gift shop well stocked with a variety of quirky items and related books, a robust café (I didn't have chance to visit unfortunately), and I will definitely return to visit the library (I guess reservations are recommended there if it's an option because a sign stated it was at capacity when I visited at 2pm on a Wednesday) & the other exhibitions available. A London gem!

The Welcome Collection is a wonderful museum with a delightful gift shop and cafe. I spent almost 2 hours walking around just one exhibition, listening to the audio explanations and looking at the art. It was fascinating! Really world class experts describing important sociological phenomena.

They had such wonderful access too - folding chairs you could take with you around the exhibit, audio description, plain English guides, tactile flooring for visually impaired folks and subtitles for all the films.

I wish they had folding chairs available near the gift shop - I really wanted to look at some of the children’s books and it would have felt much better sitting down.

My group (18 members) visited the current exhibition on the Cult of Beauty. We attended the free tour covering 5 aspects of the exhibits. It was very very good. This is a lovely environment with a nice cafe, good facilities and is very convenient for Euston station. One of our favourite places in London.

I AM SO SO EXCITED THAT THIS PLACE EXISTS ! Here is why you should go here:
- the reading room is my new favourite place in central London it is so beautiful, well equipped, peaceful and air conditioned.
- everything is free !!!!
- the building is beautiful inside and out
- the exhibitions are interesting to around and thought provoking and well curated
- there is a great cafe and gift shop
- IT US ONE OF THE MOST ACCESSIBLE BUILDING I HAVE EVER BEEN IN - they even thought of peoples sensory needs ?!?! Whoever manages this place is my new hero.

Amazing museum and its free to go with lots to see. It also changes every so often so it's never the same when you go to visit.

My absolute favourite place in London, very interesting exhibitions and a nice library to spend your day. No need to book a ticket to enter, just try and go on a weekday when it isn’t too busy.

I absolutely love the Wellcome Collection. Its super easy to get to, just a 3 minute walk away from Euston Square station. They always have interesting and varied exhibitions that are medical/science themed. I went to the In Plain Sight collection which was centred around vision and the different ways we interpret images and the world around us. It was very insightful and interactive. There is also a very nice library and reading room upstairs that has bean bags, tables/chairs and there is a collection of artwork displayed. I would definitely recommend a visit for anyone interested in human biology and medicine.

Great and surprisingly informative!
I also adore the products in the shop. It offers a rich variety of funky pin badges!
So far the most interesting place for contemporary art I’ve seen in London. The “Milk” exhibition swept me off my feet. I’m looking forward to visiting the Gallery more often. It was a truly stimulating experience, connecting art, societal concerns, and science without manipulating the facts.

The reading room / library upstairs is probably my favorite place in central London. Quiet, pretty, with very comfortable bean bags around. There are original, old paintings displayed on the walls. Well lit, spacious room with free sits/bean bags every time I go there. Perfect to chill, study, work - whatever you prefer. And the entrance is free!
