The uneasy link between war and medicine - BBC Health News 21st November 2008

Monday, November 24, 2008

Two works of art, two stories. Each portray the stark realities of war in their time, and show how medicine has struggled over the years to heal the injured.

In one corner of the Wellcome Collection, a huge canvas depicts a World War I soldier “being heaved out of the mud” on a stretcher, as curator Kate Forde puts it.

I liked the "Remembering War" part of their website - www.wellcomecollection.org/rememberingwar.

They're collecting people's personal experiences and memories of war/conflict, which seems an inclusive way of extending the parameters of the physical exhibition.
