The Science and Industry Museum in Manchester is set to host the Operation Ouch! Brains, Bogies and You exhibition from February 14.
The exhibition will feature more than 30 interactive displays for children and families to explore.
it will be themed around the popular BBC children’s show, Operation Ouch!
The show is hosted by Dr Chris, Dr Xand, and Dr Ronx, and aims to teach children about medicine and the human body.
At the exhibition, the hosts will be on hand as virtual guides to help visitors learn about the senses.
Visitors will be able to explore the insides of Dr Chris’ senses before being ‘sneezed’ out of his giant nose.
They will encounter various activities, including travelling through an ear canal covered in gooey wax, squeezing past sticky snot, and investigating some of the body’s funniest functions through exciting interactives.
Visitors can also start their own chain reaction with dominoes to simulate how our nerves send messages.
They can get creative with colourful light beams and compete with their friends and families to identify all kinds of sounds.
Steven Leech, curator of exhibitions at the Science and Industry Museum, said: “From sight and sound to some lesser-known senses, our bodies are truly sense-sational.
“Our brains rely on our senses to help us understand and explore the world around us.
“In this exhibition, you will take part in an epic experiment that is bursting with brilliant brain science.
“Just like our previous Operation Ouch! exhibition, Brains, Bogies and You will offer a playful experience that builds confidence in young people who want to explore science.
“An interactive journey through each of the senses will give visitors the chance to explore what makes our brains work through play and experimentation.”
Dr Chris and Dr Xand said: “Get ready to go on the adventure of a lifetime to find out all about our incredible senses and take a dive into the brain as we explore what makes our bodies so amazing.
“From earwax and bogies to brains and snot, make a date to be enjoyably disgusted and fascinated by this brand-new exhibition at the Science and Industry Museum.
“It’s going to be absolutely gross!”
Dr Ronx added: “I can’t wait for everyone to have a good poke around inside Dr Chris’ brain with Dr Xand and I.
“It’s going to be epic, discovering how our senses work in the most fun and gross ways possible with hands-on experiments and all kinds of adventures.
“Science has never been this fun (or this sticky).
“See you there!”
The exhibition will also showcase objects from the Science Museum Group’s collection, including a brain scanning ‘Jedi’ helmet worn by children more than 40 years ago, ear trumpets used before hearing aids, and coins that were touched by Henry VIII and given to sick people when it was thought the touch of a king or queen could cure the sick.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to purchase exclusive Operation Ouch! merchandise from the museum shop.
The exhibition is being produced by the Science and Industry Museum and developed in collaboration with BBC Children’s and Education and Objective Media Group.
This is the second time the BBC show has been brought to life at the museum following the success of last year’s Food, Poo and You exhibition.
Tickets for the exhibition are priced at £10, with free entry for children aged three and under.
Tickets can be booked on the Science and Industry Museum website.
