Overview

Free drop-in activity day at the Physicians’ Gallery with Ruth Morgan, veterinary surgeon.

What does a pig have for breakfast? What does a llama have for tea?

Come and learn about what different animals eat, what they can’t eat and how food keeps animals healthy. Explore the fascinating shapes and sizes of animal teeth and discover what they’re built to eat. Hear how different stomachs sound as they digest food and examine animal poo to uncover clues about diet and health.

All ages welcome

As well as the drop-in activity, the Physicians’ Gallery has a children’s medical library, colouring-in, worksheets and a dressing-up station available every day.
