Our skilled guides are ready to give a short introduction to the museum and our exhibitions.

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.

This Evening Consultation explores our genetic relationship with animals. Which diseases and ailments do humans and animals share? Why do different species develop some of the same diseases? And how can a small, colourful fish help lead to breakthroughs in medical research?

Poets from Canada, Denmark, and Poland come together for an international literary reading exploring ecology, environments, and the metabolism of writing.
How do our bodies shape the world around us and how does the world, in turn, shape us?

From beaver secretions for treating rheumatism to mice baked in pastry to cure bedwetting. Humans have used animals to treat ailments throughout history. At this Evening Consultation, we’ll explore the use of animals in folk medicine before taking a look inside the laboratory, where cutting-edge research on monkey testicles is investigating the problem of declining male fertility.

Join us for the first screening of the documentary film SPOOL. The film explores how Parkinson’s disease is a lived story of time – in everyday life, in the dance studio, and in the neuroscience laboratory. Free admission, but advance booking is required.

This Evening Consultation explores how animals can help us develop new medicines and better understand the human body. Can ants hold the key to developing new antibiotics, and can marine mammals help us understand how the body heals? To understand ourselves, we need to learn more about animals.
