Wellcome Collection

Wellcome Collection is a free visitor destination for the incurably curious. Located at 183 Euston Road, London, it explores the connections between medicine, life and art in the past, present and future. The venue offers visitors contemporary and historic exhibitions and collections, lively public events, the world-renowned Wellcome Library, a café, a bookshop, conference facilities and a members' club.

Where else could you find an ancient mummy, Napoleon's toothbrush, Darwin's walking stick, a DNA sequencing robot and a Marc Quinn sculpture under one roof?

Wellcome Trust

The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation dedicated to achieving extraordinary improvements in human and animal health.

We support the brightest minds in biomedical research and the medical humanities. Our breadth of support includes public engagement, education and the application of research to improve health.

We are independent of both political and commercial interests.

Established in 1936 in the will of Sir Henry Wellcome and now with an endowment of over £13 billion, we are the UK's largest non-governmental source of funds for biomedical research.

The Wellcome Trust website features a wealth of information about Sir Henry Wellcome and his vision. Further information about the Trust, our organisation and what we do is also available.
