Discover the human microbiome—the vast community of bacteria, viruses, and other microbes that call our bodies home—in this new special exhibition at Frost Science – The Secret World Inside You.
Although many of us think of microorganisms as “germs” that cause disease, only a tiny percentage of them actually make people sick. This interactive exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the human body to explore the microbiome.
Find out what these microbes are, where they are found, how they interact within us and how incredible new discoveries are redefining notions of human health. Here are a few of the cool things you’ll see and interact with at this exhibition
- A light and mirror display representing the trillions of microbes that have found a home in each and every one of us.
- Digital interactives that explore where microbes live, how they affect our bodies, and what happens when the microbiome is unbalanced.
- Live audience participation allowing you to explore microbe diversity and how our actions affect these populations.
- Gigantic models, infographics, vibrant images, and hands-on interactive exhibits.
… and more!
