This is a new “thematic island” of the CORPOREA interactive museum of the human body, created thanks to the contribution of the Campania Region.

It tells, through objects, images, videos, multimedia installations and experiments, the story of the pandemic, with particular reference to events in Campania and the role of doctors and researchers in our region in the fight against the virus. From this exhibition core, the staff of Science City will continue, as it has been doing since the beginning of the pandemic, to inform its public about the vaccination campaign and the behaviors needed to prevent the spread of the virus.
