Wellcome Collection is a free museum and library exploring health and human experience. It is the extraordinary legacy of an extraordinary man: Henry Wellcome.

Drawn from his collection of over one million objects from across the world and through many centuries, this unique space is designed to promote new and creative ideas about the role of medicine and science in society. At Wellcome Collection you will find exciting temporary exhibitions, a library and two unique permanent galleries. Now there is a fully resourced schools programme offering GCSE and A Level students an unrivalled opportunity to apply their subject knowledge and immerse themselves in some extremely contemporary issues.

Study Visits are free. They can last a full day or a half day and include a fully facilitated Background Briefing, Study Trail and Practical Workshop. The current Study Visit theme is Body Image and encourages students to creatively explore the interrelationships between science and art - and a creative challenge to students: "will science help us improve the human body?"

Wellcome Collection runs just a small number of Study Visits and so advance booking is essential.
