Wellcome Library Insights

Insights sessions offer you the opportunity to explore a
theme or topic - whether its a long-held or new interest. They'll
give you a glimpse of the Wellcome Library's rich and diverse
holdings and showcase some of our treasures which aren't usually on
display.
Each session consists of an informal talk plus a chance to see
original historical material from our collections. Spanning
over 3000 years, they contain paintings and drawings, personal and
society archives, manuscripts and books, as well as photographs and
films.
These sessions give an introductory taste of what the Library can
offer you as a browser, explorer or researcher; all are
welcome.
