Current visiting exhibition
My Micro-World
10 July – 10 August 2026
Thanks to the exhibition My Micro-World, you will discover a world you cannot see with the naked eye, but one that plays a part every day in how your body grows, learns, protects itself, digests food and communicates with its surroundings.
The exhibition is dedicated to the microbiota, a community of microorganisms that lives with us, in us and around us. Although they are so small that we usually do not notice them, microorganisms play an important role in maintaining health, maturing of the immune system, supporting nutrition and preserving the balance of the entire organism.
You will explore different organ systems inhabited by microorganisms and discover how bacteria, fungi and other invisible residents of our bodies can affect human health. You will learn why the gut is increasingly described as one of the most important ecosystems in our body, what the connection is between microorganisms, health and disease, and why scientists call them our invisible allies.
A special part of the exhibition takes you into the laboratory world of the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering of the University of Belgrade. There, you will meet bacteria from the laboratory collection that have a beneficial effect on the host, through microscopic and computer-generated images displayed on a rotating panel, as well as through microscopic preparations of bacteria.
The youngest visitors can enjoy a children’s corner, with text and illustrations adapted for primary school pupils. During the first two weeks of the exhibition, children will be able to create and submit their drawings for the Researcher in the Micro-World competition, intended for pupils from the 1st to the 8th grade of primary school. In the third week of the exhibition, voting will be organised, and the best works will be awarded.
If you want to find out who lives in your micro-world, how microorganisms affect our health and why the invisible world is an important part of everyday life, do not miss the My Micro-World exhibition at the Palace of Science.
The My Micro-World exhibition is realised within the Your Micro-World project, with the aim of bringing contemporary microbiome science closer to the wider public through a combination of science, visual storytelling and an interactive approach.
The project is implemented by the ProMicroHI group and the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering of the University of Belgrade, with the support of the Center for the Promotion of Science.
The host of the exhibition is the Palace of Science – Miodrag Kostić Endowment.
Admission to the exhibition is free.
Do you know how rich your micro-world is?
Millions of microorganisms live in and on the human body. They are not just temporary residents of our organism, but take part in processes that help us maintain balance, respond to changes in the environment and better understand the connection between science, health and everyday life.
About our thematic exhibitions
A thematic exhibition is always dedicated to one specific story from the world of science, technology or art.
This space changes its face every few months, allowing us to present achievements and curiosities related to the chosen topic through attractive exhibits, accompanying workshops and lectures.
