An inside the body experience at the national children's museum

Families
Eureka! The National Children's Museum in Halifax, West Yorkshire opens a new 2.9m health and body-themed gallery on 29 March that uses play and interactive displays to teach children about their bodies.

Children from the Eureka! Nursery played with a toy crane on the day the gallery took delivery of some of the new items on display. More than 100 new interactive exhibits include The Senses, where children can peek inside a giant nose and try their hand at reporting on 'Health TV', and The Chew to the Poo digestion machine.

All About Me has been developed with the support of a £1.45m grant from the Wellcome Trust.
