Get ready for a wild ride through the bizarre and brilliant world of our bodies at . This exhibition is like taking a trip through a giant science lab where things might get a bit… gooey. Imagine squeezing through a snotty tunnel and crawling down a waxy ear canal. It's not exactly a spa day, but you'll get a real sense of what makes you tick—or sneeze, for that matter.

Once you're shrunk down to a microscopic size, brace yourself for an expedition into Dr Chris's brain HQ. You'll explore the five senses we all know and love, plus a few curious "secret" ones that let you know when you need the loo or if it's time to catch some Zs. There are hands-on activities aplenty, from poking around inside a gigantic eyeball to banging on a massive eardrum. Want to test your power of smell? Head over to the smell library to see if you can out-sniff your mates. With tons of quirky exhibits from the Science Museum Group, including a brain-scanning 'Jedi' helmet from the 70s and ear trumpets from before hearing aids were a thing, Operation Ouch! is all about getting a little messy while having a lot of fun.
