My first visit to the recently reopened Wellcome Galleries in the Science Museum.

Quote
Those familiar with the venue may remember the previous Medicine Galleries. Perched as an afterthought, in what felt like the museum's attic space, this was an old-fashioned place of aged wooden cabinets, which were themselves something of an exhibit. Quite magical in their own way, but hardly appealing to a diverse, modern audience.  Londonist

The old place was wonderfully atmospheric, well worth the climb. The new place is more... antiseptic. It's also very much open plan – big enough to fly a plane through, as you'll see.

Wellcome Collection ‘Cult of Beauty’ exhibition
Quote from: ArabellaScott
It's the anti Enlightenment. The knowledge and expertise has been sucked out of everything in favour of a warped fairytale narrative of Be True To Your Self and Follow Your Dream.

They may as well hang a Live, Laugh, Love sign on the wall and be done with it.
