Skin Exhibition in London

Saturday, August 21st, 2010
At Pai we love all things skin...so I was excited to read about the latest exhibition at the Wellcome Collection in London.

'Skin' is dedicated entirely to our largest and often most over-looked organ.

The exhibition is split into different sections and spans:

  • skin from the anatomist's perspective - views from 16th century to the present day.
  • skin from the individual's perspective - how our scars, wrinkles and even tattoos document our life story and personal passage of time.
  • skin from the sensory pespective - how it is a unique organ of touch.
  • skinlab - a look at cutting-edge research and technological developments in skin science.

The whole Pai team will be visiting the exhibition at the beginning of next month - so hope to see you there! It runs until 26th September and is completely FREE so don't miss out.

For those of you not familiar with the Wellcome Collection, it's a brilliant centre dedicated to the world of medicine and its role in society.

It describes itself as the "free destination for the incurably curious". Just brilliant!
