A matter of perspective


swine fluLONDON – The Wellcome Collection a museum in London has acquired a beautiful, yet unusual new sculpture which will be on display September 25 until October 18.

The work depicts the virus which causes swine flu, it said Friday, and it offers “a point of departure to explore the impact such viruses have had on populations and to find out more about the global research to tackle them,” said Clare Matterson, the Wellcome Collection’s director of medicine, society and history.

Britain has been the worst-hit country in Europe by the A(H1N1) virus.

Sculptor Jerram’s previous work has included leaving pianos on streets around London for passers-by to play.
