A 20m long curiosity wall exploring antibiotic reliance from micro to macro scale - from the abstract form of real bacteria culture, through the personal stories of the people who fight bacteria, to today’s global search for new antibiotics. The mix of everyday objects, films, audio, games, props, illustrations etc. curated into one scenography.

The layout incorporating existing resting areas and allowed the gallery to be approached from multiple directions and invite them closer in a busy museum. The wall layout furthermore freed up floor space challenging the traditional setup with walls dividing exhibition sections, retrofitting and dressing a previous display wall structure.
