You can’t see them, but they’re there. Microbes. They’re on you, in you, and you carry more than 100 trillion of them all by yourself. That’s fourteen thousand times more than the number of people on earth. Collectively, they’re known as human microbiota.
In the historic Ledenlokalen a world premier has opened. The first museum where the invisible world of micro-organisms is made visible: Micropia.
In this great museum you will meet the most powerful, most successful and, at the same time, smallest organisms. Microbiology can help solve global problems, from water purification to developing new ways to cure infectious diseases. It can produce energy, food and bio-plastics. There is no end to its uses. One thing is sure: after visiting Micropia, you will never see yourself, or the world, in the same way again. Discover your microbes!
