Life and death have always been closely connected with medicine and culture. On this free themed tour of our permanent collections we will explore how spiritual amulets, still life paintings and even the book of the human genome are connected by these universal preoccupations.

There is no need to book (though spaces are limited). Just meet your guide beside the Information Point on the ground floor.

Portable induction loops for hearing aid wearers, and portable amplifiers for non-hearing aid wearers are available to borrow for tours, upon request.  If you would like to make use of this equipment, would like more information or if you have any other access related enquiries, please email access@wellcomecollection.org or call +44(0)20 7611 2222
