Have you ever wondered what your body looks like underneath all that skin and how everything works? OUR BODY: The Universe Within will grant viewers an uncanny look underneath the skin and into the inner workings of the human body. This fascinating exhibit provides an educational experience showing the different systems within the human body and how they work individually and as part of a team to maintain your overall health. Actual human bodies and organs are used in the exhibit and have been preserved using a relatively new process called “Polymer Impregnation” where bodily fluids are removed and replaced with a special liquid that preserves the specimen indefinitely.
This is a limited time engagement; so, do not miss your opportunity to bask in the glory of the human body.

The word “germs” conjures up a lot of negativity; but, did you know there are some germs that can help you? Germs, Germs, Germs is an exhibit that teaches people of all ages about the different types of germs both negative and positive, the issues surrounding them and the treatments available. As a viewer of the exhibition, you will feel as though you have been transported to the size of a microorganism where you will walk amongst giant germs and walk through a life size intestine to see certain germs that protect us. While walking through the exhibit you will be constantly engaged with interactive games, videos and pictures that accompany the exhibit. Germs, Germs, Germs is a fantastic opportunity to be educated on the effects of harmful germs, the benefits of specific germs and to help reduce the number of misnomers associated with germs.
