    What makes you human?

    PermanentLevel 2Included with AdmissionAll age groups

    Celebrate the unique characteristics of human beings

    From real anatomical specimens to virtual reality, embark on a biological journey through the human body. This all-new exhibition explores the fundamentals of health and human anatomy.

    Take The Big Wheel for a spin to find out how exercise keeps your body in top form. Shrink to the cellular level for a virtual reality tour through body systems. Reflect on how your muscular, skeletal, cardiovascular, digestive, or nervous systems work in the Human Mirror.

    Use the VeinViewer to see how near-infrared light can detect the vessels in your hand. Arrange specimens on the Bone Table to see if you can put a skeleton back together. Marvel at the intersection of science and art with a shimmering image of connections within the brain micro-etched in real gold.
