A giant eyeball and a load of sticky snot are coming to Manchester

The last time Operation Ouch! was in town, it was all about 'Food, Poo and You'.

Now it's other bodily functions that are the focus of a new exhibition opening at Manchester's Science and Industry Museum.

From poking around inside a giant eyeball and journeying through an ear canal covered in gooey wax, to being sneezed out through sticky snot, there's nothing kids won't love about the new exhibition, Operation Ouch! Brains, Bogies and You, which opens on Friday, just in time for February half term.

Stars of the hit BBC Children’s and Education show, Dr Xand and Dr Ronx, were at the attraction on Thursday to explore the fun-filled interactives that visitors can get involved in.

The doctors, along with Dr Xand's twin Dr Chris, are the virtual guides for visitors, who get to become a tiny brain explorer - setting out to investigate Dr Chris’ senses before being sneezed out of his giant nose.

They will pop up in videos and interactive features throughout the journey to help visitors 'understand more about the science of our sense-sational brains'. The job of each of the key senses – hearing, touch, sight, taste and smell – will be explored from inside Dr Chris’ brain.

Mini medics are invited to explore their own brilliant brains by banging on an eardrum, venturing into a massive eyeball and even taking a whiff of a 'smell library' during what promises to be 'a lively, interactive and playful adventure' at the museum.

Steven Leech, curator of exhibitions at the Science and Industry Museum, said: “From sight and sound to some lesser-known senses, our bodies are truly sensational. Our brains rely on our senses to help us understand and explore the world around us. In this exhibition you will take part in an epic experiment
