Handle with Care: Conversations Through Objects

Created by Wellcome Collection

Drop in to an object-handling event and get up close to items in our collection.

Drop in to an object-handling event with members of our Visitor Experience and Engagement team, where you can get up close to items in our collection.

There will be different stations throughout the space, each with objects that you can touch and explore at your own pace. In addition, there will be other creative activities to try.

Come along if you’re interested in the connections between health, history and art.

If you want a break from the activities, you can head to our Chill-Out Room to lie down or relax. There will be low lighting, comfortable seating, cushions, mats, ear defenders, earplugs and sensory toys.
