Wellcome Collection opens

A human heart, ancient Japanese sex toys, a French guillotine blade and a mummified Peruvian body are amongst the fascinating objects unveiled today at The Wellcome Collection, London’s new £30 million museum exploring the history and wider meaning of medicine.

The Wellcome Collection ranges over two floors and three galleries and builds on the vision, legacy and remarkable personal collection of Sir Henry Wellcome who amassed a massive collection of over one million medical related items.

From the 24 Hour Museum. Wellcome Collection website is here.
