Timelessly relevant, Blood and Guts has shined as Pacific Science Center’s frontline portable anatomy exhibition for nearly 20 years. This oft-requested show delights more than 100 schools and community events annually aboard our Science On Wheels vans, and keeps ‘em coming back for gore—er, more—with its hands-on opportunities to explore innards and bones.

Each Blood and Guts exhibition collection includes a total of 26 activities designed to encourage the understanding of human anatomy. Students will inspect healthy and unhealthy organs, compare the bones of humans and other animals, and test their balance, vision, and motor skills. (Appropriate Grade Levels: K-8)
