What is referred to as the Welcome Collection?

The Welcome Collection traces the development of medicine through history and spanning several cultures. Located in central London, it is a combination of exhibitions, libraries and cafes where people can learn more about the development of medicine. Part of the Welcome Trust, it was founded by Sir Henry Welcome, a pharmacist, entrepreneur, philanthropist and collector, who garnered a unique collection of articles relating to medicine and health. Recently, a British heart transplant patient, Jennifer Sutton, donated her old heart to the Welcome Collection, after receiving a new one.
