With Thirst: In Search of Freshwater, the Wellcome Collection is diving into humanity’s connection with freshwater as a source of life and key to good health. The exhibition will bring together art, science, technology, history and indigenous knowledge, and span ancient Mesopotamia to Victorian London to modern-day Nepal, in its exploration of our relationship with freshwater. Divided into five sections – Aridity, Rain, Glaciers, Surface Water and Groundwater – the show will feature over 125 objects that highlight the impact that access to freshwater has on the health of both individuals and ecosystems, the consequences that water mismanagement has around the world, and the innovative solutions being created to combat water crises.
