Title of learning activity: Day at the Museum
Diary of Learning activity
Today’s class was different from the others. We were invited by Angela to spend the day in Euston to visit an exhibition called being human. Being Human explores what it means to be human in the 21st century. It reflects our hopes and fears about new forms of medical knowledge, and our changing relationships with ourselves, each other and the world. We saw 50 different art works and objects and the exhibition was divided in four parts: Genetics, Minds & Bodies, Infection, and Environmental Breakdown. I thought this was a great opportunity for the class to spend time together outside of the normal routine. My favourite part of the exhibition was the anatomy and infection. After the exhibition we all went to have lunch together, overall was a great day and another good learning opportunity.
