What is this place?

Wellcome Collection is a free museum on Euston Road (Camden) exploring health, life and art. It runs relaxed exhibition openings — these are event-based, on selected dates tied to each exhibition, rather than a fixed weekly or monthly programme — designed to be calmer and friendlier for visitors who need a more sensory-friendly environment; they're free but must be booked, so check the current events programme. Separately from those events, the museum has strong standing accessibility: a registered Changing Places toilet on level 0, step-free access throughout, accessible toilets on all floors, a chill-out space that's usually available, and sensory-support equipment to borrow from the Information Point (tinted glasses, tinted visors, ear defenders, weighted lap pads and fidget tools). Admission is free.
