Turn that frown upside down and put on your happy face. The Wellcome Collection explores happy feelings in 2020. For five months, the On Happiness season unravels the joyous, uplifting state, starting with Beautiful Octopus Club, London's longest running inclusive club night, on the 24th April 2020. It's followed by two exhibitions on Joy and Tranquillity on 27th May where artists including Barry Lewis, Amalia Pica, Chrystel Lebas and Jasleen Kaur explore states of euphoria and collective joy as well as more solitary feelings of reverie. Explore the complex, and often subjective, nature of happiness and its impact on mental and physical health.

A major and fascinating cultural venue, the Wellcome Collection combines three galleries: 'Medicine Man', 'Medicine Now' and 'special exhibitions'. In addition you'll find the famous Wellcome Library, cafe, bookshop and a 'forum' to consider issues of science, health and human identity. The 1,300 objects on display show the great variety of considerations that these topics include. More about Wellcome Collection
