Schools event: Anatomy for the terrified!!! Looking inside a heart
Important: this event has passed!
Anatomy is the study of the most complex and awesome machine known to science and you are walking around in one! Forget your biology textbook and see how key parts of your body work. We'll take a particular look at the heart, including a live dissection. We'll find out how people used to think it worked, back in the days when anatomical research was done at night and wasn't always totally legal! Then, we'll see how the latest technologies are helping us to explore our bodies through three dimensional representations of both the male and female forms.
This event is for schools, although home educators are welcome too. No under 5s will be admitted to the theatre, and all home educated children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. School groups please bring the appropriate number of adults to supervise your group. Please book all tickets online.
