Wellcome Collection
Free London museum exploring medicine, science, life and art through permanent galleries like Medicine Man and temporary exhibitions. Interactive exhibits blend historical medical artifacts with contemporary art installations, ranging from surgical instruments to works questioning health and human experience. Activity packs available for children ages 5-10; smaller than major London museums so less overwhelming for short attention spans.
