2   Link   Museu d'Història de la Medicina de Catalunya
El museu ha de ser un instrument de caire científic, però també de projecció social de la medicina catalana, per tant, un instrument de caràcter cultural, obert a tota la població. La finalitat principal del museu és l'educació, formació i investigació en la comprensió i el coneixement de la història de les ciències de la salut, a partir del context contemporani de la societat catalana. La riquesa del patrimoni científico-cultural que preserva el museu, així com el propi context històric català del qual en forma part, precisen que els seus fons siguin accessibles al gran públic per tal que pugui gaudir d'aquell de manera intel·ligible, guiat pels camins de la museologia científica fonamentada en objectes reals.

8   Link   An Iconography of Contagion - Virtual exhibit at NLM
About a hundred years ago, public health took a visual turn. In an era of devastating epidemic and endemic infectious disease, health professionals began to organize coordinated campaigns that sought to mobilize public action through eye-catching wall posters, illustrated pamphlets, motion pictures, and glass slide projections.

Impressed by the images of mass media that increasingly saturated the world around them, health campaigners were inspired to present new figures of contagion, and recycle old ones, using modernist aesthetics, graphic manipulations, humor, dramatic lighting, painterly abstraction, distortions of perspective, and other visual strategies.

Health campaigns had to compete with billboard advertising, comic strips, monthly magazines, tabloids, animated cartoons, pulp fiction, Hollywood, and later television. The designers and artists who were recruited for such campaigns came out of the same commercial visual culture. They devised a new iconography of contagion that emphasized visual legibility and the pleasure of the view.
