Wellcome Collection’s current temporary exhibition, High Society, closes this Sunday (27th February), meaning there’s not much time left to sample its stimulating wares.

High Society draws upon a range of intoxicating material from the Wellcome Library – a small sample though, of our extensive holdings relating to mind-altering substances in all their shapes and sizes.

So, if the closure of the exhibition leaves you seeking more mental stimulation, a trip to the Wellcome Library may well be in order…
