Suspended in a large tank engraved with a full scale skeleton on one side and a diagram of the central nervous system is a juicy brain anonymously donated in the name of science.

The Real Brain exhibit has been carefully and sensitively researched and designed by At-Bristol’s in-house exhibitions team, who have worked within the requirements of the HTA licence to treat the donor material with the respect and dignity it deserves.

Goery Delacote, Chief Executive Officer for At-Bristol said: “There is nothing more interesting than to see something for real. As a science centre, it’s our role to bring the real world, and especially that not easy to see, to the attention of our visitors”.

For those visitors that wish to discover more about real science in action, a touch screen can be used to show dialogue with people that have a direct interest in medical science research and donor activity.

Does anybody else think these girls are just way too excited?
