Ever wanted to try your hand at surgery? Our popular series of hands-on experiences for families is back for a limited time this half-term.
Please note: Sessions are for those aged 10+ only and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by a supervising adult.
Tickets are for two people per table, including the supervising adult.
Every day the average heart beats approximately 115,000 times as it pumps over 2,000 litres of blood around your body. Our team of pathologists will talk you through the inner workings of this vital organ, in this unique opportunity for families to step into the shoes of a medical student and find out first-hand what it’s like to dissect a real heart*.
For the workshop you will receive protective equipment and a dissection kit, including scalpels, scissors, tweezers and one heart per table. The workshop will last 45 minutes – please arrive 15 minutes prior to the workshop starting.
*Non-human! This workshop uses animal products.
When booking please ensure you have a valid museum ticket for everyone attending, as this is not included in the ticket price.
