When I was in London last year, I frequently went by the Wellcome Collection’s building on Euston Road, and saw this massive sign hanging in front of their building advertising a year-long exhibition.
The Wellcome Trust, the London-based global charitable organization which owns the Wellcome Collection, has just made more than 100,000 images from their collections available on-line in high resolution. 
The images range from manuscripts, paintings and etchings, to early photography and advertisements, the oldest being a 2000 year old Egyptian prescription on papyrus! 
Each image has full reference information included.
It’s just fun to wander through the collection and see what’s available for your amusement! Click here to look! You’re welcome.
Wow. Thank you! This is exactly what I like about your blog. You take me places I might not otherwise find.

It's a fascinating museum, with exhibitions on a wide range of medical topics. The Wellcome Trust is also one of the world's largest charities devoted to medical research. The original funding came from the founder of what is now GlaxoSmithkline.
