The Magpie "I" & The Wellcome Collection





The object is transformed through the process of collection.

The Wellcome Collection is a stunning. Drawn from the collection of Henry Wellcome, the co-founder of a pharmaceutical company, the (mainly) medical related exhibits are often shown in curated events, with simple titles such as Skin or Dirt.
The direction of the curation creates new contexts within which to see the objects.
