As part of Les Nuits de la Lecture (Nights of Reading), the Médecine-Nîmes University Library is hosting a unique exhibition dedicated to acupuncture.

Designed as a sensory experience, it consists of posters of the human body, crisscrossed by meridians and acupuncture points, freely illustrated by students enrolled in the University Acupuncture Diploma program at the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine.

By presenting their personal interpretation of this ancient discipline, linked to traditional Chinese medicine, the students demonstrate the energetic and holistic dimension of acupuncture, with the aim of raising public awareness of this therapeutic practice, which is widely used in France and around the world.


The posters are accompanied by a selection of documents from the university library's special collection, including reference works, rare journals, conference proceedings on acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, and student work demonstrating the vitality of acupuncture teaching at the University of Montpellier.
