History of
NATIONAL MEDICAL MUSEUM
The National Medical Museum is Norway's only medical history museum with a national mandate. It was established in 2002 by the Ministry of Health and Care. The medical history collection from Rikshospitalet was transferred to the museum, and was the central starting point for museum operations.
The National Medical Museum seeks to preserve and communicate the history of medicine in an open, interdisciplinary and socially relevant way. We use the exhibition medium to address new themes in new ways. One goal is to arouse both reflection and engagement in the audience.
The National Medical Museum has three permanent exhibitions:
- Life and death - opens Feb. 2021
- Get Well Soon – people, technology and knowledge in hospitals (2006)
- Invisible World – about modern visualization technology and the body's smallest components (2009)
