Visitors could find out where all the parts of the body
are, how their joints work, test how quick their reactions were and
find out the importance of fitness. The exhibition also compared
the human body to those of animals, so that you could find out how
a horse or fly sees.
The exhibition was complemented by displays of
objects from the museum's own collections, including medical
instruments from when the museum building used to be the city's
hospital and information on local strongman Walter Cornelius. There
was also a display on what archaeologists can tell about our
distant ancestors from the human remains excavated in the
Peterborough area.
Many of Peterborough’s most popular cultural and sporting
facilities are part of Vivacity, an independent,
not-for-profit organisation with charitable status.

the trust on the Vivacity website.
