The International Rasmus Malling-Hansen Society
The founding meeting of The International Rasmus Malling-Hansen Society took place on the 6.th of may 2006 in Copenhagen in the localities of the former "Royal Institute for the deaf-mutes", where Malling-Hansen was principal from 1865 until his death in 1890.
On the picture you can see the present Count of Knuthenborg, many descendants of Malling-Hansen and the other participants surrounding the monument made in memory of Malling-Hansen after his death, and which was moved from the Garnisons churchyard to the Institute in 1947.
