Step inside the human BODY, Harwell
Overview
Get ready for mind-blowing science, exploring the human BODY like never before.
Journey through a series of spectacular “body zones”, from the beating heart and firing neurons to the eyes, lungs and cardiovascular system. Along the way you’ll encounter:
- a giant flaming heart
- a light sculpture of firing neurons
- a 10-ft steampunk olfactory scent gun
Using light, fire and cutting-edge special effects, BODY invites you to see, hear and feel the body in extraordinary new ways.
BODY is suitable for all ages - a joyful, thought-provoking encounter that will change the way you see what it means to be human. It should take around 40 minutes to walk around. There will be food trucks available, a hot chocolate stand and a few other delights.
Some installations include flashing lights, fire effects and sound. Visitors with sensory sensitivities may wish to bring ear defenders.
The trail is outdoors, please dress for the weather. Comfortable shoes and warm clothing recommended.
You are encouraged to take photos and videos, share your snaps with #BODYatHarwell
