Operation Ouch! Food, Poo and You

A hilarious, highly interactive, and sometimes gross (!) exhibition exploring
health and the human body, in particular the digestive system.

Operation Ouch! Food, Poo and You

This is a high-profile, entertaining, interactive, family-focused exhibition about health and the human body, in collaboration with the BBC and the Operation Ouch! brand.

Visitors will get hands-on and immersed within the world of medical science as they explore their bodies and health. Aimed specifically at children and the adults guiding them, the content of Operation Ouch! is pitched at an accessible level with an entertaining and fun approach.

Guided by videos and illustrations of our hosts Dr Chris, Dr Xand and Dr Ronx, visitors are shrunk, swallowed and squeezed through Dr Xand's digestive system.

From the tip of the tongue to the end of the bum, visitors explore the role of each organ in the digestive journey through interactive games and challenges, fun facts and fascinating objects from the Science Museum Group's collection.
