Don’t miss out on the final chance to meet a popular star of children’s TV in a sense-ational exhibition at the Science and Industry Museum this summer.
Dr Xand Van Tulleken, one of the presenters of hit BBC Children and Education’s show, Operation Ouch!, will be at the Science and Industry Museum on Tuesday 12 August to meet visitors who are journeying through the senses in 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.
Tickets to meet Dr Xand are now available along with more information about the day on the museum’s website www.scienceandindustrymuseum.org.uk/whats-on/meet-dr-xand
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-themes summer at the museum, where visitors can enjoy everything from silent discos to science shows and a bogie lab to brain-boggling challenges during six weeks of activities inspired by its latest exhibition.
The ‘Bogie Lab’ will be full of sticky surprises for visitors wanting to explore more about their sense of smell. Interactive workshops will inspire future scientists by unearthing the brilliance of bogies, and visitors can get hands-on with this magical mucus by creating their very own pot of snot to take home.
How the brain processes all our senses will be explored through a host of interactive activities that put visitors’ minds to the test as they grapple with brain-boggling challenges. Little ones can also dance their way around the museum’s very own super-sized brain during daily silent discos that explore how our bodies respond to sound. Our senses of sight and sound will be examined in a brand-new interactive Explainer experience, unpicking optical and audio illusions that bamboozle our brains.
Budding gamers can also put their senses to the test in Power Up, the ultimate gaming experience. Visitors can rock out with Guitar Hero, see a whole new world with virtual reality headsets or show off their moves with Just Dance on the big screen. Annual passes are available to purchase, meaning gamers can unlock a new level of play and gain access to the experience for a whole year.
