- The British Museum's website; for an introduction, please refer to the Museum's "About Us" page.
- https://foundlingmuseum.org.uk/
- The Foundling Museum: "...explores the history of the Foundling Hospital, the UK’s first children’s charity and first public art gallery.
We aim to inspire everyone to make a positive contribution to society, by celebrating the power of individuals and the arts to change lives." - https://www.thehorsehospital.com/
- The mission of the Horse Hospital is to be a: "... three-tiered progressive arts venue in London providing an encompassing umbrella for the related media of art, film, fashion, literature and music.
It provides a unique and distinctive arts and artist-led environment in which the arts can flourish for the benefit of local residents, tourists, visitors and practitioners.
As the only independent arts venue of its type in the UK, there is both a duty to aim for the broadest possible access to the arts across a broad range of artistic activity and practice and an opportunity to encourage risk, innovation and experimentation." - https://wellcomecollection.org/
- The Wellcome Collection is: "... a free museum and library that aims to challenge how we all think and feel about health.
Through exhibitions, collections, live programming, digital, broadcast and publishing, we create opportunities for people to think deeply about the connections between science, medicine, life and art.
We are part of the Wellcome Trust, which was established under Sir Henry Wellcome's will in 1936.
Wellcome is a global charitable foundation, which aims to improve health for everyone by helping great ideas to thrive. Politically and financially independent, Wellcome supports scientists and researchers to take on big problems, fuel imaginations and spark debate.
Upon our 10th anniversary in 2017, we embarked on a period of reflection and of internal and external peer review. We created a document that sets out this combined mission for Wellcome Collection as a museum and library, our main objectives for the next five years, and how we are now organised to achieve them." - https://www.wienerlibrary.co.uk/
- The Wiener Library is: "... one of the world's leading and most extensive archives on the Holocaust and Nazi era.
Formed in 1933, the Library's unique collection of over one million items includes published and unpublished works, press cuttings, photographs and eyewitness testimony."
