Heartspace is a performance-based sound installation.

The installation is performed at the Culture Night on October 13th, 2023.

Creative writing workshop at Medical Museion. In the company of the British poet James Wilkes and the museum’s curator Adam Bencard we will explore the fascinating symbiosis between the human body and its microbes.

What role does hope play in the course of diseases with poor prognosis? This evening three experts will provide their perspective on hope and hype in biomedical research and treatment.

Equipped with gloves, you’ll have the opportunity to dive into the museum’s treasure trove and touch the objects. The event takes place on selected days from 1 to 3 PM.
