The Hagströmer Library is a medical history library and has more than 150,000 books and journals in medicine, anatomy, pharmacy, natural history, biology, and chemistry. The oldest books are from the 1480s, but the focus of the collection is on the period 1600-1990. The library also offers lectures and guided tours of the collections.

The Cell is a venue of the National Museum of Science and Technology, situated in Hagastaden in Stockholm with Karolinska Institutet as knowledge partner. It is a unique meeting place for life science and art, where you can take part in guided tours, exhibitions, talks and also organise events. All activities are free of charge.

This exhibition can be found in the entrance of one of the office buildings at Karolinska Institutet's campus in Solna, just north of Stockholm City. It showcases material from the world-renowned photographer Lennart Nilsson’s last laboratory at our university.
