Abstract

V originále

The last year has been a grand celebration of Mendel's life and work. We wanted to join the festivities by opening a new permanent exhibition Genetics: A Fascinating Journey into the Cell Nucleus. How and why did we make it? How can a museum share a passion for genetics with the public, especially children and students - potential future scientists? We will present the journey and outcome of the exhibition, together with programmes for schools.
