All of Wellcome Collection, including our library, café and shop, will be closed on Monday 4 November for staff training. We will open again as usual on Tuesday 5 November.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!
