Micropia

Micropia is a museum based on the idea of distributing information about microbes, which are often associated with illness and disease despite their essential function in the daily functioning of human life.nThe two main focuses for Micropia are: establishing a positive view of microbes and “becoming also an international platform for microbiology that brings diverse interest groups together in order to bridge the gap between science and the general public”.nMany of the exhibits in Micropia focus on microbes’ existence in daily life. It consists of both living microbes as well as virtual representations of microbes.The Kiss-O-Meter, for example, measures how many microbes are shared between two people as they kiss.
