The Institute of Sexology at the Wellcome Collection

Exhibiting artworks alongside scientific artefacts, 'The Institute of Sexology' explores how human sexuality became a scientific field. It shows how several brave individuals used pioneering research to end the stigma, repression and ignorance surrounding the body and sex. In the exhibition, historic objects and records illustrate the achievements of Sigmund Freud, Marie Stopes and Alfred Kinsey among others, interspersed with artworks that take a more imaginative interpretation.
