Steno Museet is a science and medicine museum in Aarhus that displays a broad collection of scientific instruments and medical equipment from different periods. The exhibition includes hands-on experiments exploring gravity and optics that visitors can try themselves.
The museum grew from collections of scientific instruments at Aarhus University and documents how natural sciences developed over several centuries. Today it is part of the Faculty of Science and Technology and shows how scientific methods changed over time.
