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.

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!

Unusual collection that had some interesting exhibits but often not to my personal tastes. They also have a nice reading room and cafe on ground. It was a little more modern, eclectic, and fewer exhibits than I expected. Free to see with late openings on Thursdays.

Lovely collection with some great exhibitions. The one related to race, identity and eugenics was particularly interesting. The library and the reading room on the second floor are wonderful. I would happily come and spend time here more often. Also there is a Picasso just outside the reading room. Look out for it - the history behind it (which we learnt from our guide) is fascinating.

3.75 stars. Located very close to Euston. Good spot to fill in 90mins. Free. Yep free. I booked but it appears you no longer need to. Something a little different. Useful way to introduce kids but not particularly to interactive. Don't forget to visit the reading room on level 2. Definitely happy that I visited.

Went to see The Cult of Beauty exhibition which was fascinating and free. Well curated and worth the visit. Went to the cafe afterwards which is lovely with a range of drinks, snacks and cakes.

The best museum I’ve been to in a long time! Went to the Wellcome collection with no expectations really, wasn’t too sure what was on offer but just decided to go alone before meeting a friend later in the day. The staff were super helpful and suggested a route to take. Right now there are some great exhibitions on, my favourite was the Medicine Man collection, some super interesting, weird and bizarre pieces on show. I’m not sure if I managed to see everything but would visit again for sure. Very close to Euston Square station, Euston and King’s Cross. Fully wheelchair accessible and plenty of toilets. Recommended!!

Wellcome Collection is one of London's great (and free) museum. Once the home of Henry Wellcome, a pharmaceutical entrepreneur, the wellcome Collection it's now home to original artwork, beautiful dining courtyard and more. Spread over two floors, there is so many artefacts and paintings to see. I love how this one's grand home has now become a free attraction for the public. Every room is packed with fascinating objects. Often overlooked in favour of the other bigger museums such as a British Museum, I highly recommend a visit to the Wellcome Collection. It's so close to to the shopping paradise that is Selfridges and Bond Street too! No excuses for not squeezing in a bit of culture into your shopping therapy.

It is free to enter and a nice, quiet and cosy place to either read a book or study. I came here to read one Saturday afternoon and sat on their iconic bean bags on the red carpet stairs. It was so cosy I fell asleep. There is also a little area where you can sketch a portrait of yourself and put on the board. It was good fun. There were also a few exhibitions taking place on the day I visited. As with every library, no food and drinks allowed on the carpeted area to avoid spillage.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Maybe I expected more informational exhibitions after these reviews and the museum's website, but unfortunately I found them small, not creating a cohesive message, slightly boring (spoiled with Science, Natural History, British museums, guess). The building and the library are beautiful so. The sofas and puffs in the reading room looked comfy and I liked cozy reading vibes in there.

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 Cult Of Beauty exhibition. Excellent show about the history of beauty with some gorgeous pieces on display. Would have loved a bit more of an in depth section into makeup, but overall for FREE, this was very good. Could have done without the people chatting loudly in the middle of it all, next time, can you do your chatting in the cafe?? Gorgeous colours and graphics too with design of the show. I wish there had been a book to buy or small catalogue. I will return when it's less busy but I doubt it will be, it was packed!

A very interesting series of collections, some really unusual exhibits ranging from art to historical medical curiosity. For me the highlights of medicine man were the Scott Expedition medical kit and the Everest trip kit. Also, pictured below, the Refugee Astronaut art piece was really visually striking for me. Shame the gift shop was closed as I would have liked to contribute something back to this institution.

"Excellent place, displaying a variety of artworks concerning medicine, science, psychology and life. I highly recommend the "Medicine Man" exhibition, which houses a variety of collections of Henry Wellcome. This place has indeed so much to learn and a must visit for medical/pharmaceutical/psychology students and professionals." The above paragraph is what I had written two years ago. Sadly, that comment is not valid anymore. Firstly, I really don't like the new gallery called "Being Human". I really don't see how it is related to human experiences. Nothing in there interests me and I don't like any of the exhibits displayed in there. This gallery is totally weird and shocking. I will not step foot in this gallery ever again. Sorry, it's boring. Perhaps you'll should have used that space to display some more of Henry Wellcome's collections. After all, this museum is meant to display his collection. He did not collect 1.5 million objects for nothing. Display more of his objects. That's what people want to see. Secondly, this museum is going in the direction of progressive politics and the daily tour guides don't talk about any interesting subjects/objects anymore. Except two ladies and three gentlemen working at this place, all other tour guides aim to connect the history of their objects with modern liberal politics. Don't connect history with politics. Focus on the object of your choice and stick to the subject and make the tours interesting. The reading room is still my favourite. Don't change anything in there. Regarding the special exhibitions, "Smoke and Mirrors" was awesome. 10/10. It was the best exhibition ever. "Play well", not bad. "Jo Spencer's Photography", awful. Despite of everything I've written, I will not stop anyone from visiting this place because it's free museum after all. Thank you for the opportunity to review this place.

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.

Interesting, interesting!! Highly recommend to all who interested in art and...anything!!!!

Amazing! Beautiful architecture, artwork and exhibits. My favourite however was definitely the reading space. Absolutely amazing for anyone who loves to read. Would definitely love to live closer or visit more to be here everyday.

Amazing museum and i like this sign acknowledging the way that exhibits were acquired through colonialism and the eurocentric way the objects were previously displayed. Most British museums do not do this so that was refreshing. Little blue signs everywhere give historians views, often addressing the above. Loved it.

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!!!

Most delightful, considerate and accommodating museum. Top in accessibility. Wonderfully done exhibitions, great collections, lovely reading room.

I love the themes they’re addressing such as Being Human and Joy. Very uniquely designed studio 🤩 Must visit. It’s a short time experience! They are taking precautionary measures and is safe for all ages. They also have a cute cafe to visit once you’re done exploring.

Not one of the better known museums in London but the Welcome Collection is an important and influential centre of knowledge and artifacts linked to 'medicine, life and art'. The collection includes permanent (Medicine Man) and temporary exhibitions, there is a specialist library, reading room, cafe, restaurant and gift shop. A must see attraction and knowledge centre on the Euston Road,

Had an hour to spare waiting for trains so went along here. Even in a short time enjoyed the medicine man area. Staff were extremely helpful. Would have loved to have stayed longer. Hopefully next time.

In my personal opinion I thought the museum was okay. I wasn't really excited too much about the place. My favourite parts were the human body, the library and the tranquility room. I enjoyed exploring the various types of organs with the light up buttons, it was very educational. The ear phones were a good way to listen to people's views on the pandemic and health issues. I loved the library but I think some of the books are a bit dated as I was browsing a few of them and they were published back in the 80s! Wow! I still found them interesting though as I love reading in general especially when reading up on health concerns. I love the tranquility room as it was a nice place to relax, meditate and get lost in woods (of the photographer image. You will see what I mean once you get in the there, I promise) Love the sounds of nature in the background too! <3 The toilets were clean but one of them did not have any soap from the metal dispenser for some reason which was a bit annoying. Also, the toilets upstairs did not flush so well. Staff were friendly, observant in every room and informative.

Must visit this museum when in London. For those who love medical history including dental exhibition, this place could be a good place to learn about. . There is no entrance fee, and you can also find a restaurant and library/ reading room inside the museum. . You can reach this place via Euston tube station, just walk a few minutes to get there.

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.

Loved this location. Right next to Euston square station. The experience was amazing, felt like it was worth £40 but it was completely free. The museum was informative and interesting with different styles of art. There were also different film rooms. Didn’t get a chance to check out the library on the top floor. However i will be going back to visit again. I also didn’t try any food but it looked good and they provided free water. The shop was nice to browse through they had lots of good quality, artistic gifts and items. Seems like a good place to study. Absolutely loved it

Really interesting displays located in the Wellcome building. They have multiple exhibitions going on, each located on different floors. It was nice to just wander around the look at the exhibits. It was free entry and definitely worth the time if you are interested in medicine and humans.

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 would love to give a 5 star but I felt the permanent exhibition was lacking interest. Could explore must more. As a student of medicine, one of the tricks to learn the science of the human anatomy and physiology is by loving the art of the arts. However(!) the true value is on the temporary exhibition “the cult of beauty”. I could spend days on this compilation of works. Good job to all artists and to the community. I’m also glad the racial and sexual content was shared with no means whatsoever to offend none. Especially hypersensitive people. This times we are living in today is definitely not easy to understand that. So for that matter I give you 5 stars for the refresh to allow to be. Upstairs they have a library to study and do research. It’s possible to( in advance) request to see arquive materials.

Good place to visit different exhibitions throughout the year, you have to book your tickets they are free.

Interesting collection of items and like so in the gift shop. Cafe is good to. Free to enter! If you are traveling from Euston get there early and have a look round, it's only across the road from the station.

In a city of unbelievably good museums, this is possibly one I've least enjoyed. It is niche in what it covers, and if you have an interest in this area I'm sure you'll have a great time. It just didn't do it for me

I haven't been in a while but have been several times since 2014. I've always loved the varied exhibitions, the reading room, the gift shop and cafe. I just think it's a fab space. The reading room is an especially nice place to escape to, though sometimes not as quiet as I'd personally like. I do want to use the library there some day.

A fantastic gallery with wonderful exhibitions. Free entry too.

This is a fabulous place to visit in post-pandemic London. The place is well organised and easy to get to from London Euston and Euston Square. They have interesting Joy and Tranquillity exhibitions until early 2022 - which are free! So what are you waiting for? There is also a coffee and dining place. The inside is carefully monitored for Covid cleanliness...need I say more?

I always have a great experience at the Wellcome Collection. They are always adding new exhibitions to they permanent exhibitions. Also remember to check the reading room where you find activities you can contribute to. Suitable for all ages.

Absolutely enjoyed my visit. Went there for David Shrigley and it was more than expected. I really liked their current exhibition Joy and Tranquility, you can stay as long as you like since there are many seats which allows you to truly enjoy the artworks! Strongly recommend a visit. It’s FREE.

Lovely collection of permanent displays and free exhibitions with free tours/talks as well. Really broad subject matter and great displays. Outstanding reading room with books to borrow and a range of comfy seats (free to use), library also available for those working/studying. Great cafe with reasonable prices as well. All staff were helpful and knowledgable.

A ‘FREE’ museum exploring health and human experience. The Wellcome Collection is a museum and library based at 183 Euston Road, London, displaying a mixture of medical artefacts and original artworks exploring "ideas about the connections between medicine, life and art". They have some unusual pieces in their collection and is quite interesting. Enjoyed our visit.

Had a pleasant experience visiting the Wellcome Collection! The cafe on the main floor is a great way to start your visit. It’s also a good place to work remotely from but make sure not to make noise in the reading room upstairs. 🤫📚

truly beautiful!! very comforting environment to have a read or study. expositions and collections are pretty cool too

Welcome collection

The Reading Room is one of my favourite places in London. It would get a five star review just for that. But there's so much more to it too. I have been many times, and the temporary exhibitions have been exceptional. Take advantage of the free bag check (by the stairwell directly in front of the entrance) and take your time here. The book shop and cafe are both excellent too. Pop in if you haven't been, and you'll see why so many people go back time and time again.

Popped in to kill an hour before meeting friends and ended up staying far longer. Fairly interesting but not for everyone or a full day.

(Translated by Google) I didn't like the museum so I liked the interior of the building rather than the exhibits (Original) 박물관 원래 안 좋아해서 전시 내용보다는 그냥 건물 내부가 맘에들었고 유명한 다른 박물관 보다 좋았음

This is an excellent place either to eat or to work. The cafe offers delicious food and coffee (I had breakfast from there) but at an above-average price tag. The library / working section is really great. There are large tables to work on and free wi-fi. You need to arrive by 10am, otherwise it gets very busy on weekdays and you will be unable to find space - you are required to check-in your jackets and bags before entering the library - this minimises clutter and ensures nobody spills things on the valuable books here.

Wacky,cool, didnt get to see all of it as limited time

Great place for a half-term treat.

(Translated by Google) Small museum but very original in content (Original) Pequeño museo pero muy original en contenidos

What an underrated gem in the city, i came to visit without any expectation and i saw some really inspiring exhibitions. They also host late opening on Thursday night sometimes, so it's good for people who have to work. The curation topics are generally centering on medical, human body, mind, and cognition, but don't think it as a pure science museum, they also draw from art and other disciplines to extend the conversations. Fascinating!

One of the best galleries in London. The exhibitions are exceptional, the cafe and the bookshop are great.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and fostered a very intelligent and interesting discussion among us visitors.

Amazing place that fuses science medicine and art together

That's good

The Wellcome Collection is a museum and library near Euston Train station. originally bequeathed by Henry Wellcome (the founder of the pharmaceutical company), the collection contains an eclectic mix of exhibits related to medicine. There's a permanent exhibition specifically for some of the Henry Wellcome' collection and even better is an excellent free audio guide in English, French or British Sign Language. There's also an ever changing number of exhibitions that make it worthwhile to re-visit the museum. Right now, there's an exhibition on the architecture and now buildings increase or decrease our health and wellbeing.

Highly recommended, we have been meaning to come for ages and we weren't disappointed. Everything is laid out really nicely and it is really easy to follow the narrative. Will definitely be coming back when more is open

Absolutely a wonderful place! I would highly recommend! The reading rooms are especially brilliant! I've got a lot if uni work finished there!

Really interesting museum. There are often exhibitions about a particular aspect of medical science. The collection appeals to people of all ages and of all levels of education. There isn't a charge to see the main collection. The staff are generally friendly and helpful. The museum's location opposite London Euston Station makes this very accessible.

Friendly staff and a clean environment. I didn't really engage with what was open, I'm not keen on the reliance on audio as I prefer more inclusive exhibits. I didn't understand the meaning behind numerous exhibits and would have liked to have known more. Maybe I misunderstood as other reviews are positive. The Medicine Man exhibition reopens next month so will try that.

Free to enter, well priced cafe with good selection, interesting things to see.

Wow, what a gorgeous gallery. Have told all of my friends to go check out Joy & Tranquility, absolutely lovely exhibitions. It’s free (In London?!) and definitely worth making the trip for!

This may just be my favourite place in London! The library is great for studying, the cafe and reading room for catching up with friends, the gift shop is just 100s of books I am lusting after, and best of all are the exhibitions! The permanent collection is brilliant, and I have yet to go to a temporary exhibition I haven’t enjoyed. I think my favourites to date are the Architecture and Health exhibition and the History of Dentistry. The only things you have to pay for are whatever you buy from the cafe and the shop (which for me is always too much!). I would emphatically recommend to anyone who is curious.

Great place for revision, reading and coffee!

Favourite place in London. Constantly returning to this venue on a weekly basis!

Beautiful and unique space.

Interesting collections and free too. One of London’s low budget gems.

Lovely exhibits and wonderful reading room.

(Translated by Google) I really liked the "being human" part and very moved by the testimonies. "Play Well" is also very interesting for anyone involved in childhood. (Original) J’ai beaucoup aimé la partie « being human » et très émue par les témoignages. « Play Well » aussi très intéressante pour toute personne impliquée dans l’enfance.

Always nice. More variety now too.

Great experience

Good one

The Play exhibition is very well curated, with lots of information. They also have a free cloakroom and a very well stocked shop

There is some really well designed interactive elements and even our DNA code.

(Translated by Google) There is not much data than I thought ... (Original) 생각보다 자료가 많지 않다....

Peaceful museum in a beautiful building, interesting mixture of ancient and modern. Nice place to spend some time, looking around, sitting quietly, exploring the shop, eating in the cafe. They have unexpected exhibitions sometimes, such as the one about the history of magic, which are well worth seeing.

Favorite museum anywhere!

The body exhibition is a fantastic interactive and thought provoking collection of objects that blur the lines between art and science
