Exciting design in the windows of the Wellcome Trust headquarters

The front windows of the building are seen by over 1.8 million passers by each year, providing the perfect opportunity to engage the public with our work.

Our window display changes at least once a year, with each one providing a unique artistic interpretation of what we do.

Current display: The Treasures of Henry Wellcome

Designed by Shaz Madani, this installation features photographs taken by Thom Atkinson of 75 objects from Henry Wellcome's vast and eclectic collection.

Beaded turtles, a mechanical vibrator, a shrunken head: it would be difficult to find a more eclectic selection of items.

The photographs, which were originally commissioned by the 'Financial Times Weekend Magazine' for a feature marking the 75th anniversary of the Wellcome Trust, have been used to create a startling window installation celebrating Henry Wellcome's life and legacy.
