Just to remind you that the 15th biannual conference of the European
Association of Museums for the History of Medical Sciences (EAMHMS) will be
held in Copenhagen, 16-18 September, 2010.
The theme of this year's conference is the challenge to museums posed by
contemporary developments in medical science and technology.
How do museums today handle the material and visual heritage of
contemporary medical and health science and technology? How do curators
wield the increasing amount and kinds of more or less intangible scientific and
digital objects? Which intellectual, conceptual, and practical questions does
this challenge give rise to?
