Visitors to Manchester’s Science and Industry Museum will have the chance to meet a star of the hit show Operation Ouch! this August.
Dr Xand Van Tulleken, one of the presenters of hit BBC Children and Education’s show, will be at the museum on Tue 12 Aug as part of the latest blockbuster exhibition, Operation Ouch! Brains, Bogies and You.
As well as joining mini medics on the voyage, Dr Xand will be on hand to answer brain teasers from the audience during a series of live Q&As.
Dr Xand, alongside his co-hosts Dr Chris and Dr Ronx, have provided unique inspiration for the museum’s latest world-premiere exhibition, which sees visitors take on an epic romp through the senses. Whether it’s banging on a super-sized eardrum, venturing into a massive eyeball and even taking a whiff of a “smell library”, the exhibition dives into the science behind hearing, sight, touch, taste and smell.
His visit comes in the midst of a senses-themed summer at the museum, where visitors can enjoy everything from silent discos and interactive workshops to science shows, a bogie lab and brain-boggling challenges, during six weeks of activities dedicated to exploring how our senses work.
