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 at Medical Museion with feed-back from colleagues
  • Workshops with guests
  • Exhibition workshops where we discuss an exhibition at another museum
  • Discussions of a book or article
  • Discussions of questions pertinent to Medical Museion
  • … or something else to keep us inspired and on our toes

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