Do you have a hard time explaining how the heart works, or the blood flows or the million other things kids will ask about the human body? For most parents, this is a bit of a struggle.
On February 13th, MOSH opens a new permanent exhibit, called The Body Within. It sounds like this fun and interesting exhibit will become a new favorite for both curious kids and parents. The best way to learn is to experience, and The Body Within let’s you almost take a fascinating journey through the human body.
Visitors will enter through a mouth and then be able to see the skeletal system above, and organs and body systems below.This realistic, and humorous look at the human body, will help visitors gain knowledge about how different organs, for example the heart, function within the body. We can’t wait to experience this one ourselves.
