Medicine: The Wellcome Galleries” at the Science Museum in London provides a remarkable home for one of the world’s most significant medical collections. Spanning more than 3,000m² and covering over 500 years of medical history, the exhibition brings together around 3,000 artefacts from the collections of Henry Wellcome and the Science Museum.
Across five galleries, visitors can explore different aspects of medicine through themes including “Medicine and Bodies,” “Medicine and Communities” and “Medicine and Treatments.”
Click Netherfield was appointed to design, engineer, manufacture and install 106 bespoke showcases and 18 integrated benches throughout the galleries. The scale and complexity of the project demanded conservation-grade display solutions, specialist access systems and close coordination with multiple stakeholders as part of the wider museum redevelopment.
“The gallery proves to be popular and something we too are incredibly proud of!”
