An exhibition about our search for a long, healthy and happy life throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
Peculiar miracle cures, nutritional tips and sports challenges. Every day, we come across all kinds of advice to take better care of ourselves. What do we need to stay physically and mentally healthy? How have our views on this topic changed? And what role do science, government, media and advertising play in this regard? From the toilet to the kitchen and the bedroom. In this exhibition, you’ll discover what special tools we have used throughout the 20th and 21st centuries to live long, healthy and happy lives.
