LIFE AND DEATH
- ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Life and death
is the title of the National Medical Museum's new permanent exhibition, which can now be experienced at The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology .
Project manager Ellen Lange wants the exhibition to inspire people to ask questions about what medicine and health are - and what it can and should be.
New entrance to the medical rooms
Med Liv og død fornyer The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology store deler av sitt utstillingstilbud. Denne utstillingen vil åpne for nye muligheter til å bli kjent med de medisinske utstillingene på museet.
–Utstillingen skal fungere som et slags “oppspark” for å vekke nysgjerrighet for medisin- og helse før, nå og i framtiden. Den skal forhåpentligvis inspirere til å utforske de mer spissete utstillingene, God Bedring, Usynlig verden og I blodet, ønsker Ellen Lange.
The museum's collections
The exhibition is based on the museum's collections of tangible and intangible cultural heritage from the field of medicine and health in Norway. Most of it has been collected during the last two hundred years.
-Through a number of objects and photographs, works of art and interactive installations, the exhibition will highlight different voices, positions, practices and perspectives - both nationally and internationally, says Lange.
Engagement
When the museum now thematizes medicine and health through "Life and death", it is done with the aim of touching and being touched.
- We want to give our visitors a good and strong experience that hits them in the stomach, head and heart. The hope is that they will carry it with them for a long time. We will also make it possible for the users to influence and influence us, that is the exhibition and the museum, in that we can take in their perspective and input and thus be in constant development, she says enthusiastically.
