SKIN

The Wellcome Collection is, in my opinion, one of London's secret gems, a very much underrated venue for intriguing and fascinating exhibitions. Like the current 'Skin' exhibition, for example. It explores what our skin is, what it does, how it does it, and what happens when things go a bit awry. It's amazing, go see!

"Skin is alive. Knowledge of who we are begins at the body's surface .. the sense of touch, and especially touching others, is a voluntary way to build evidence, to distinguish sensations from emotions, to guide medical examination, or simply to take care of ourselves."
