MUSE Workshops

Muse workshops are primarily for staff of Museion and will provide a discussion forum for work-in-progress and questions of importance to Medical Museion. An internal workshop can be:

• Presentations of research, communication and exhibition projects with feed-back from colleagues
• Workshops with guests at Medical Museion
• Discussions of a book, article or external project
• Discussions of questions pertinent to the general direction of Medical Museion
• … or something else to keep us inspired and on our toes

 

When and where? Workshops can be arranged at short notice, but there will be a set programme every two weeks. Workshops take place in the meeting room on Thursday 12.30-13.30. Feel free to bring your lunch. Contact Adam or Karin with suggestions, or if you would like to attend as an external participant. Note, all speakers are based at Medical Museion unless otherwise listed.
