Why has 'Brought to Life' closed?



Brought to Life' was created with the support of the Wellcome Trust, offering access to images of thousands of fascinating objects from the medical collections of the Science Museum Group and Wellcome.

However with access to these collections available elsewhere and the technology behind the multimedia no longer supported, maintaining the site become unviable.
