The World is in You

Medical Museion moves into Kunsthal Charlottenborg and presents this autumn’s major exhibition ‘The World is in You’. Through science, contemporary art and historical objects, the exhibition explores how our bodies are connected to the world in and around us.

Now, we welcome you to the opening of the exhibition:

Wednesday 29 September at 12-20pm.
Admission is free all day.

Speeches from 12.30pm:

Theis Lange, Professor and Head of Department of Public Health at the University of Copenhagen
