The building and galleries are beautiful, and I appreciate that it is free and open to the public. I also have great respect for the Wellcome Trust’s extraordinary legacy in medical science. However, the museum itself feels primarily focused on social commentary. In a single room, the permanent collection covers climate change, disability, gender identity, colonialism, and access to resources. Rather than offering a coherent exploration of science or medical history, it comes across as a checklist of identity politics. If you’re expecting a straightforward presentation of science or human health, you may find this frustrating.

Really enjoyed our visit here. Very disability and neurodiversity friendly. Nice café and shop. Prices in shop were Amazon comparable. Exhibitions are all free and are a fascinating blend of science and thought provoking art. We looked at "Thirst" on the state of water in the world, an exhibitions on what it means to be human, sign language and zine making. We even had a go at making our own zines. Very easy to get to, right opposite Euston Station. Toilets are the future, all individual unisex cubicles with automatic soap and water. Disabled cubicles, baby changing and a hoist toilet also available. Lifts, braille, sensory packs.

Very nice pastries and coconut milk latte is best as well because I don’t like dairy milk in coffee
