February Half Term: My Skin and Me
What’s the largest organ in the body? Skin!
This February Half Term, we’re looking at our biggest natural barrier and how it keeps us protected from illness and helps form who we are.
Inspired by our latest exhibition, Complexion.
From poo to medicine in space, Thackray Museum uses creativity and play to explore a different medical theme every school holiday.
Hungry for more? Grab your Family Membership and enjoy a year’s worth of school holiday activities for free.
