life-sized figures on each side of the front door at the new "wellcome collection"



"she had a heart" from the excellent heart exhibition in the new "wellcome collection"




sorry to tell you it is a poor reproduction of a luminous & rather mischievous painting by a spanish artist, enrique simonet lombardo



the exhibition is worth travelling for, although you'll need an iron constitution to sit through the spectacular film of heart surgery, and it is just along the street from the fabulous "sacred" exhibition at the british library



both exhibitions are free
