The Coming of Age

Thursday 26th March - Sunday 29th November

Wellcome Collection, 183 Euston Road NW1 2BE

‘The Coming of Age’ explores experiences and perceptions of ageing, from adolescence to later life, and asks how societies can adapt for us all to age better.

Across the globe, people are living longer. One in ten children in the UK are expected to live beyond the age of 100. But who gets to live longer and ‘age well’? This exhibition explores how experiences of age are shaped by our environment, culture and society.

‘The Coming of Age’ features more than 120 artworks and objects, including historical artefacts and works by contemporary artists including John Coplans, Serena Korda, Suzanne Lacy, Anna Maria Maiolino, Rory Pilgrim, Paula Rego and more.
