The Eyes Have It

From the site’s about page:

“Henry Wellcome was a man of many parts: businessman, philanthropist, patron of science and pioneer of aerial photography. He also created one of the world’s great museum collections: a huge stockpile of evidence about the universal interest in “the preservation of health and life”.

One hundred and fifty years after his birth, this exhibition reunites a cross-section of extraordinary objects from his forgotten museum, ranging from diagnostic dolls to Japanese sex aids, and from Napoleon’s toothbrush to George III’s hair. It also features ‘The Phantom Museum’ – a specially commissioned film by the Brothers Quay.

‘Medicine Man: The forgotten museum of Henry Wellcome’, a Wellcome Trust exhibition produced in close collaboration with the British Museum, is curated by Ken Arnold and Danielle Olsen and designed by Caruso St John.“
