ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Look up the National Association of Health Education Centers (an  association 
of about 50 health museums & education centers) to see if any of  their 
members might have some good ideas.   _www.health-adventure.com_ 
(http://www.health-adventure.com/) 

NY Hall of Science exhibits on microbes are great; also they have an  
exhibition on the molecules of life.
 
JFK Health World (Barrington, IL, I think) might have some interesting  
exhibits; it was designed by Jeff Kennedy Associates, who you might want to talk  
to to find out  wazzup with health exhibits these days.    
_www.healthworldmuseum.org_ (http://www.healthworldmuseum.org/)  
 
You might want to check out traveling exhibits, like Grossology, to steal  
some good ideas.
 
The Exploratorium, of course, has designed a number of exhibits on biology,  
memory, vision, hearing, health, etc.
 
HealthSpace is a new health museum in Cleveland (used to be the Health  
Museum).  Haven't seen it, but it might be instructive -- don't know if it  is 
great or not.  _www.healthspacecleveland.org_ 
(http://www.healthspacecleveland.org/) 

Another health museum, Health Adventure:
