Germ City: Microbes and the Metropolis, New York City
New York City is typically defined by the verticality of skyscrapers and the rigidity of the urban grid. This exhibition reimagines the five boroughs in terms of the organic flow of microbes and the indiscriminate spread of disease.

A collaboration among the Museum of the City of New York, the New York Academy of Medicine, and the Wellcome Collection, the exhibition features over 100 scientific and historical artifacts, commissioned artwork, and a reading room designed for reflection and audience engagement.

Spanning 4,400 sq. ft., Germ City is the first segment of a multi-city initiative to ?highlight the social and scientific interplay between people and pathogens? in the urban environment.
