Steno Museum

About

At the Steno Museum, both children and adults can go on a voyage of discovery into the fascinating development of science and medicine. You can learn about ground-breaking discoveries such as X-rays, penicillin and the atomic bomb. Shiver at the sight of old surgical instruments or reflect on antenatal screening and modern body culture and ideals of beauty. In the museum's planetarium, guides take you on a tour through the stars, planets and black holes, but you can also relax in the fragrant medicinal herb garden and possibly enjoy your packed lunch. There are activities for children during the school holidays, as well as a 'full moon evening' every month in the planetarium. It all begins at Foucault's large pendulum in the foyer. Welcome to the Steno Museum!
