\u00bbWith the Museum of Alternative Medicine opening, the University of Copenhagen gets a beautiful little museum with research, stories and objects from the treasure chamber of nature.\u00ab says Sven Fr\u00f8kj\u00e6r, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.<\/p>\n
The museum is at Jagtvej 160 and is the latest of U of C\u2019s university museums to open, joining the Botanical Gardens, Zoological Museum and the Medical Museion.<\/p>\n
