Wellcome Collection, 183 Euston Road, Kings Cross, NW1 2BE
How Much:
Free!
As cultural institutions across London make ever more spurious links between the 2012 Olympics and the event or exhibition that they were planning to programme anyway, the Wellcome Collection is actually responding to the games in thoughtful fashion.
Superhuman looks at the myriad ways that humans have sought to alter and improve the body's performance. With over 100 artworks, artefacts, videos and photographs - including 1970s Nike trainers, an ancient Egyptian prosthetic toe and the third instalment of Matthew Barney's unimaginably weird Cremaster Cycle - this looks, as ever, like a bit of a cracker.
Until 16.10.12.
