It is impossible to find what I'm looking for in London?

Hi guys,
First time poster here and starting with an apology- I'm posting in this thread for traffic.
I work in a primary special school and we are starting the year by learning about the brain and how it works. We're trying to improve the growth mindset of the children. Maybe I'm really rubbish at searching Google but I am struggling to find either an exhibition to visit, or an experience to come into school that is relevant to our children. The closest I have found is the Hello Brain! exhibition but it is aimed at 12+. I was hoping to maybe find a VR type thing as this would really appeal to our learners. I thought I'd be on to a winner with the Science museum but they don't have what I'm looking for.
Please can you lovely people help me?

Ignore this. Sorry! I didn’t read properly!

There is this.
But I imagine it will be quite short.
I don’t know if you can combine it with a trip to the British library nearby?

https://wellcomecollection.org/exhibitions/XNFfsxAAANwqbNWD not completely clear if it meets your criteria from website but I bet they'd be very helpful if you phoned up

Thanks for this - I'll be giving them a call. If they're not suitable for this one, I think this will be perfect for another unit we're doing after the new year!

I would not recommend this for children unless you want them to watch a video of a man talking and showing how much spunk he produces in a year 🤢

Perhaps not relevant for this particular time / topic, but Collar and Cuffs are a wonderful sensory music and theatre company who coordinate productions and interactive exhibitions for children with special needs. They have in the past done a couple of pieces about parts of the body / how the body works, and may well be interested in a commission: http://www.collarandcuffs.org

(I have no particular affiliation, though I know one of the directors, Julia, in a roundabout way.)
