The body is an amazing collection of parts that work together to keep us fit and healthy. But how does the body fit together? Does everyone’s body fit together in the same way? What happens when a part of our body stops working?
Designed for children and their curious grown-ups, join us this May half term for a packed programme of hands-on activities that reveal the inner workings of the human body.
Access all of this activity free with your museum ticket:
Thackray Science Live: Funny Bones

On a dark, dark street there was a dark, dark museum. And in a dark, dark museum… some Boffins lived!
Craft: Scratch That
Daily | 10am–4pm | All Ages | Free with museum entry
Hip bones, hearts, skulls, stomachs, teeth, and toes – use our anatomical stencils and scratch art sheets to reveal what’s going on beneath!
Family Trail: How We Fit Together

Can you match each body part to its right place? Complete the trail around the galleries and discover how our body parts fit together.
Under-5s Explorer Bag

Go on a sensory journey and find the crochet organs hidden across the museum. Expect to find woolly eyes, brains, tummies and intestines – and link them to the objects in your bag!
From poo to poison, Thackray Museum uses creativity and play to explore a different medical theme every school holiday.
