The Health Museum (The John P. McGovern Museum of Health & Medical Science) is an interactive health science center, Smithsonian Affiliate, and a member of the Texas Medical Center.  In the Amazing Body Gallery, our first permanent exhibit, students embark on a voyage of discovery through the human body and explore science via interactive modules and kiosks, staffed Discovery Carts, and larger-than-life models of human organs.  Our state-of-the-art, bilingual DeBakey Cell Lab allows patrons to conduct real experiments with authentic lab equipment and goes beyond standard science demonstrations. This cutting-edge, 2,000-square-foot exhibit features eight unique lab stations that use video and audio prompts to encourage visitors to try a variety of chemicals, tests, assays and real-world scientific experiments to replicate medical and health science-related research or experiments conducted in the Texas Medical Center.  The McGovern Theater is reserved for special viewings of educational films, hosting lectures, luncheon series, school field trip dissections, and seminars. Traveling Exhibits in The Sue Trammell Whitfield Gallery offer ever-changing, dynamic content for The Health Museum, and in turn, bring health education alive in a way that traditional classroom study cannot. Drawing upon Texas Medical Center resources and the expertise of our education staff, The Health Museum creates interactive programming that is fun and makes a lasting impact on young minds.
