Going into detail

After 40 minutes in the Medical Museum in Copenhagen (http://www.museion.ku.dk) I have to post these beautiful microscopes:


And they shall be a metaphor for looking into details. 40 minutes gave me enough time to be impressed by the wonderful museum that contains everything from the monstrous to the magic, from the ugly to the genius.
There was the Femme Vitale, a sculpture made of the average amount of pills that you would take in your lifetime, an exhibition on obesity and a biohacker lab, among other brilliant things (see website).
But what do you get in 40 minutes…
An impression of the surface.
The microscopes show, that from epidemology to the human micro-biome there is always a way to dig deeper.
And to learn Danish for a start, to be able to get the few untranslated bits too.
To make another advertisement in my blog: If in Copenhagen - go there !!!
