How much do you really know about your own skin? Join us as we scratch beneath the surface in an afternoon full of fun activities suitable for all ages.

• Examine your skin under different types of microscopes.
• Be amazed by extraordinary images from the Wellcome Library.
• Ever wanted to see what's beneath your skin? Paint your bones, veins and muscles onto your skin with some help from a professional make-up artist.
• Learn more about surgical procedures with Rhian Solomon, an artist featured in the exhibition, and practice some surgical techniques for folding and suturing the skin.
• If you could tattoo a name onto your body - what name would it be and where? Contribute to a sculpture of very special tattoos with poet Aoife Mannix.

This event is to support the 'Skin' exhibition, which will be open all day.

This event is free. Drop in anytime.
