Today's visit to the Wellcome Collection was definitely worth it! The High Society exhibition was really interesting, and we still had plenty of time to look around some of the other exhibitions, too. There was a beautiful photography show, displaying photos taken with scientific imaging equipment rather than a usual camera. Lots of magnified ( Read more... )
