Steno Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in the University Park of Aarhus, the Steno Museum is a vibrant hub where science feels less like a lecture and more like play. You'll find everything from a sprawling astronomy exhibit that charts Denmark's historic love affair with the stars to a delightfully quirky collection of vintage medical gadgets. It’s the kind of place where kids can happily get lost for hours, yet adults will find themselves just as captivated by the clever, hands-on displays. This isn't a stuffy repository of facts; it's an active conversation with our curious world.
Collection Highlights
The Astronomy exhibition is a major draw, featuring historical instruments and a stunning celestial globe. Don't miss the Medicine on the Edge exhibit, which explores both historical and futuristic health tech. The attached Botanical Garden offers a living, breathing extension of the natural sciences on display inside.
