Curated by the Medical Museion and situated in the contemporary art gallery Kunsthal Charlottenborg, the 'The World is in You' is a key example of the collaboration between the Medical Museion and CBMR's researchers. For the themes time, microbes and generations, Medical Museion curators worked closely with CBMR scientists to integrate the latest science on circadian biology, the microbiome and epigenetics, respectively. 

The exhibition was open to the public from 30 September 2021 – 16 January 2022.

From the laboratory to the museum

'The World is in You' drew directly on CBMR's scientific discoveries and insights on circadian biology, epigenetic inheritance and the microbiome. In the series of videos, below, we interview three CBMR scientists and three of the exhibition curators to learn more about the interdisciplinary collaborative process.
