Here are some topics that medical museums need to get involved with if we want to engage with contemporary healthcare: * Ambient Assisted Living for Elderly Care * Ambient Intelligence and Intelligent Service Systems * Analysis and Evaluation of Healthcare Systems * Clinical Data and Knowledge Management * Cloud Computing for Healthcare * Collaboration Technologies […]

I wrote the other day that taking down museum exhibitions could be as much fun as building new ones. That was a pretty spontaneous tongue-in-cheek comment triggered by our conservator Nanna Gerdes’ enthusiastic twitter series of images (see @NaGerdes and storified here, here and here) from the process of taking down three old exhibition rooms […]

We’ve had two specialists in colour history visting from the National Museum of Denmark. They have worked hard grinding down selected areas of the walls and doors in the museum’s Titkens Gaard building to find out what colours the new exhibition room have had since the mid 18th century. See also Nanna’s tweets here. For […]

As I wrote in an earlier post, we are now on the track of building up the new semi-permanent exhibition ‘Under the Skin’ in the museum’s Tietkens Gaard building. In the last couple of months, our conservator Nanna Gerdes has worked hard to take down the three former exhibition rooms and packed the artefacts for […]

[…]

I et rum med hvide vægge og trægulve plettet af sol hænger den dansk-britiske kunstner Andrea Jespersens værker og spejler museets inderside. Inspireret af det gamle anatomiske teater, samt forskellige genstande fra samlingerne, har kunstneren skabt en række fotografier, tegninger og skulpturer, der lige nu kan ses på Medicinsk Museion. I videoen til højre kan […]

Fred og idyl blev hurtigt afløst af larm og uorden. Tæt ind til hinanden banede vi os vej gennem […]

As part of the upcoming workshop “It’s Not What You Think: Communicating Medical Materialities”, we are delighted to announce that the pioneering bioartist Oron Catts will be giving a public keynote lecture on Friday March 8th at 17.00 in the auditorium at Medical Museion. Oron Catts is a prominent and defining figure in the emerging […]

Here’s my short speech at the opening of Biohacking: Do it yourself! last Thursday evening: In true hacker style, this opening is somewhat ad hoc-ish. We will spend about 20 minutes up here in the old auditorium; several people will say a few introductory words each, in several languages. Then — because there isn’t room for […]

Det første der slog mig, var den allestedsnærværende kontrast mellem de bløde, organiske materialer og de mange elektroniske apparater og skærmes mekaniske, firkante tilstedeværelse. [flickr id=”8391519867″ thumbnail=”small” overlay=”true” size=”original” group=”” align=”left”]Den findes i skyggeteatret, […]

Steven Lubar — director of the public humanities programme at Brown University and keen observer of things museological — has just drawn his Twitter followers’ attention to a “nice” blog post on the problems of collecting contemporary artefacts written by National Museum of American History curator Carlene Stephens. Stephens’ blog post revolves around Stanley (a driver-less vehicle that won a historic […]
