Wellcome Collection
The Wellcome Collection is a collection of artifacts originally collected by Sir Henry Solomon Wellcome. He was born on August 21, 1853 and dies on July 25, 1936. In his early life his travelled and preached in a covered wagon peddling his wares. He sold a lot of invisible ink, which was simply lemon juice.
His primary interest was the study of medicine and he founded a pharmaceutical company with his friend and colleague, Silas Burroughs called Burroughs Wellcome & Company. Upon his death occurred the formation of the Wellcome Trust, which is one of the world’s largest medical charities. But his interest in archaeology drove him to collect many artifacts throughout his life.
Wellcome’s obsession with collecting artifacts was insatiable. He would buy anything related to medicine including things like Napoleon’s toothbrush, which is currently on display at the Wellcome Collection in London. Various parts of the Wellcome Collection have been exhibited at the Science Museum in London since 1976. Many of his medicinal artifact comprise of a collection called “Medicine Man” which has been available for viewing since 2007. His books, photographs, paintings, drawings, and other media collected from Wellcome is available through the Wellcome Library.
