Official opening Steno Museum: "Blood, breasts and blind spots": The overlooked body unfolds in a new exhibition
IMC Researchers Ella Paldam, Christine Parsons and a team from the Faculty of Health, including Ida Vogel, Silke Chambers, Ulrik Bak Kirk, Felicity Davis, and Nina Rågård are behind the exhibition. The Overlooked Body is supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
On 18 June 2026, the Science Museums open the second phase of the exhibition The Overlooked Body – Blood, Breasts and Inequality at the Steno Museum. Here, medical research, bodily experience and art are woven together in a sensory exhibition that explores what happens when biological female bodies are overlooked in medical research.
This well-documented inequality has had significant consequences for how diseases are detected, understood and treated – and for which organs and symptoms receive attention.
