Another great exhibition at the Wellcome Collection, exploring something that surrounds us everyday, 'but that we are often reluctant to confront'. There were over 200 artefacts from film, to paintings, to literature that helped investigate the 'grimy truths and dirty secrets of our past' and in fact present and future. TYhe exhibition introduced six places as starting points for exploring attitudes towards dirt and cleanliness:
- a home in 17th-century Delft in Holland
- a street in Victorian London
- a hospital in Glasgow in the 1860s
- a museum in Dresden in the early 20th century
- a community in present day New Delhi
- a New York landfill site in 2030
