I saw a strange sign on a door to a geophysics lab in a museum in Switzerland. I was really curious about what it means and wanted to know if anyone is familiar with this sign.

Here's the full image of the door so you can see the context/type of work going on in the lab.

I'm also curious about what the two signs to the right of the one you indicated mean. (I'm guessing the one you indicated is a joke, but I could be wrong or partially missing the joke)

@cag51 I'm pretty sure they're warnings against pacemakers and joint replacements, due to the strong magnetic fields.

I thought the middle one was depicting a hearing aid inside an ear canal, but upon further inspection it does appear to be a hip joint.

I notice that the sign:
- Doesn't quite match the other signs for scale or style
- Isn't obvious in what it's communicating (unlike normal warning signs)
- Looks like a monster (apparently "We Must All Stop ManBearPig" from South Park)
I conclude that it's a joke by the museum staff, much like this "velociraptor-free workplace" sign at the Field Museum in Chicago.
