SUPERHUMAN CONVENTION
AT THE WELLCOME COLLECTION, LONDON
hello, fellow science peeps!
a few weeks ago (mega late! so sorry!) me and some friends went along to a convention called Superhuman, at the Wellcome Collection, in London. IT WAS AMAZING!
At first, I was worried it would be some boring over explanatory science reading workshop, but once we got there, I realised how amazing this convention actually was! It was the most beautifully displayed conventions, with real artifacts, and everything from science to history to modern life. The theme was past to future, so as we walked across and around, we saw time change with us.

Approaching the far end of the convention, the time frame hit 2050, 38 years from now. The predictions went from hovering cars, no-need-to-touch phones and planets combining themseleves with earth. All these predictions and ideas were apparently scientifically proven to be developed. Astonishing.
The real astonishment, however, began upstairs. THE MEDICINE MAN.
This was a display of both medicine and man-made devices over the last 1000 years, displaying everything from medical tools, paintings, statues and even some organs! We started off by looking at torture chairs, and face masks made and used at least 500 years ago! Then we came across the dental tools, from knives to what seemed to be axes! all these were displayed in big glass displays.
The artifacts were AMAZING! We saw stuff going from acupuncture dolls, to human pancreas bits *yuck*!
So, see for yourselves! I'll add a few more pics and that's it from me for now!
Hope you enjoy!
THANKS! -Haajarah Hussain
