Not Wellcome

The Wellcome Collection closed its own Medicine Man exhibition on the history of medicine, complaining that it was racist. Some of the treasures it displayed:

– Wax and cloth head of Elizabeth I, half of which shows a face and the other half a decomposing skull being consumed by insects.

– Pair of bellows used for blowing smoke into the rectum of people fished out of the Thames, which some doctors believed could revive them after near-drowning.
