Musée de la Main in Lausanne: because Science does matter.

As we know, Science and health are two very important components in life. Claude Verdan Foundation, the University of Lausanne and the CHUV (Lausanne Public hospital) have joined forces since 1997. The result is a flexible and interesting place they called Musée de la Main.

The Museum explores themes around scientific news, medical and social topics. All in an open-mind spirit. Its mission is to generate dialogue and curiosity to the public. Since its creation there were more than 30 exhibitions and several programs of activities. All together represent an unique opportunity to discover, with the head and the hands, general topics that concern us all.
Something that strikes the visitors when you get in the museum, it is the elegance and rigor that exhibitions are displayed. And during our visit of Lab/Life, we could see the great attention given to details.

LAB/LIFE – Exploration of the Living, the science lab.

We got to visit Lab/Life – Exploration of the Living. Fruit flies, diabetes, cress ladies, neurons, bacteria, wolf droppings, DNA, sleep, owls and viruses. What a program! The exhibition is a fun course that reconstructs the day-to-day in a scientific laboratory. Through a scientific approach, it explores the challenges of contemporary research in biology and medicine.

LAB/LIFE – Exploration of the Living, Science is an art.

An interesting aspect of this exhibition is the elegant and artistic way to exhibit a science lab. Of course you will see microscopes and cutting edge technology, all true to a day-to-day in a Science lab. But the exhibition also reflects an artistic spirit that welcomes visitors in a very warm hearted ambiance.

In our today’s society, there are incredible challenges to face. Some of them can only be achieved thanks to the support of scientific research. For that new generations of researchers are wanted, so this kind of initiative can definitely inspire new vocations. So you still have until February 22nd to visit this very interesting exhibition.
