Thanks to collaboration between experts in the field of vaccinology and historic accounts of its transformation over the years, the Center traces the main milestones in scientific research and its application, from Jenner through to the most modern techniques.
The journey through the themed rooms begins with the Istituto Sclavo and ends in the modern era, retracing the over 100 years of vaccine history in Siena. Every room examines a different topic, adopting an engaging storytelling approach with an informative and scientific register.
