Germs get a bad rep. But what if we told you that less than 1% of germs make people ill? There are over 100 trillion microbes in our tummies that help us digest our food. They also help us fight disease and keep our skin looking neat and tidy. Germs can do us good!
Inspired by Anna Dumitriu’s latest exhibition, Fragile Microbiomes, we’ll explore how germs can not only be deadly, but also friendly. We’ll look at what germs are, how germs are all around us, and what happens when the good and bad germs become unbalanced.
All activities included in your museum annual pass and suitable for all the family.
Family Workshop: Eco Printing
Thu, 30 May 2024 – Fri, 31 May 2024
To celebrate the good, the bad and the germy, unleash your inner eco-artist with this workshop run by local textile artist Kayleigh Davis. Taking inspiration from our latest exhibition Fragile Microbiomes, nature, and Kayleigh’s own work, children will create their own microbiome masterpieces using natural dyes on silk.
The sessions run on Thursday 30 May and Friday 31 May with bookable 45 minute slots throughout the day. Recommended for ages 5+. This activity is part of our Germs, Glorious Germs holiday activity.
