Skin: The Wellcome Collection


The 'Skin' exhibition encourage you to look again or perhaps for the first time at the largest human organ. You travel through the ages considering the changing importance of skin, covering four main themes: Objects, Marks, Impressions and Afterlives.

It also investigates the skin as a living document: with tattoos, scars, wrinkles or various pathologies, which reminded me of the artist I saw that embroiders images of tattooed old skin.

The Skin Lab, featured artistic responses to cutting-edge research and technological developments in skin science from the mid-20th century onwards.
