There’s one in Lima, Peru that boasts over 3000 brains. It’s supposed to be one of the biggest brain banks in the world, but the only one open to the public. There’s a little Reuters video about it here.
This is a link to the neuroscience section of an Israeli musum. It has some interesting content that might be a good source of exhibit ideas. They’re primarily to do with vision and visual illusions though.
Running. The most primitive form of exercise. An unsophisticated sport, it requires nothing more than what nature has given you - a working pair of legs and a propensity to move them quickly.
I think of myself as a runner, even though I am so far from consistent in my running that I have often felt that I haven’t the right to call myself one. You may well wonder what someone would need to deserve the title, and I would say regularity - a runner is someone for whom running is a way of life, as integral to their way of being as sleep, or breakfast.
My own reasons for running are many, a motley collection of motivations that have come and gone and come again, like variations on a theme of fitness.
The New Museum of the Brain is a must-do for kids, neuroscience nerds, and everyone in between.
As you stand outside the museum admiring its brain-shaped exterior, you will wonder why someone hadn’t thought to do this before. A physical journey into the brain to learn about its wonders - what a fun idea! The passageway that connects the entrance and admissions area to the exhibits proper, is a corridor of squishy walls that suggest brain matter and sets a playful tone for the rest of the museum. The promise of tactility is more than fulfilled by every single exhibit. Physical interaction is the modus operandi, with an experiment or a physical experience illuminating each neurological phenomenon.
