Step by Step through Cancer Prevention at RW21 Bayreuth

An evening for knowledge, attitude, and health at RW21

The vernissage for the exhibition Step by Step through Cancer Prevention opens in the gallery of the RW21 City Library, offering an informative and contemporary perspective on a topic of great social relevance. The interactive traveling exhibition of the Comprehensive Cancer Centers at LMU Klinikum Munich combines prevention, education, and illustrative communication into an art experience in the broadest sense: as a spatially tangible knowledge exhibition with clear, understandable language and playful elements.

Prevention as an exhibition experience

Central themes of cancer prevention are highlighted: smoking and passive smoking, nutrition, physical activity, weight, alcohol, carcinogenic substances, radiation and radon, UV protection, vaccinations, preventive examinations, air pollution, and other components of health education. The exhibition employs short texts, interactive modules, and practical tips that keep access low-threshold while scientifically sound. This creates an exhibition atmosphere that does not present knowledge dryly but makes it immediately tangible.

Opening with professional background

At the vernissage on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, from 4:30 PM to about 5:30 PM, the City of Bayreuth and the Bayreuth Health Region will welcome visitors with a public opening. Following this, Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Christoph Mundhenke, director of the Women's Clinic at Klinikum Bayreuth, will shed light on the aspect of primary cancer prevention through HPV vaccinations. This program point combines cultural education with medical expertise and strengthens the educational character of the event.

A place that connects education and encounter

The RW21 is, as a municipal cultural and educational center, much more than a classic exhibition venue. The gallery on the first floor offers an open framework for thematic exhibitions, lectures, and educational formats. The house sees itself as a barrier-free, low-threshold meeting place where learning, reading, and cultural participation intersect. Additionally, the easily accessible location on Richard-Wagner-Straße 21 and the clear focus on a wide audience make it an attractive destination.

Accessibility and visitor comfort

The event is free and accessible without age restrictions. As part of the RW21, features include open WLAN, accessible restrooms, disabled parking, wheelchair spaces, walker spaces, stroller spaces, and access for visually impaired and blind individuals. This makes the visit particularly suitable for all those seeking an inclusive and well-structured exhibition experience.

Conclusion

This vernissage connects precise health education with a lively exhibition opening in the heart of Bayreuth. Anyone wishing to experience culture, prevention, and socially relevant topics in an open, modern setting should not miss this date. The exhibition invites you to rethink health step by step – on-site, illustrative, and free of charge.
