We create thought-provoking, innovative and beautifully designed exhibitions that tackle the subject of health from different perspectives. They cover scientific and cultural subjects, and feature material from historical objects to contemporary artworks. Our programme is generally aimed at audiences aged 14+.

We are keen to work with inventive partners, large and small, from museums, art galleries and science centres, to community centres, libraries and universities, across the UK and internationally. We are open to new ideas and different ways of working to explore themes of health and what it means to be human.
