Digesting is quite an adventure ! Test your five senses, explore the digestive tube with a 3D film, assess your metabolism, exert some energy and analyse your eating habits.

After having solicited all our senses, ingested food is then decomposed in the digestive tube. Nutrients are absorbed into and transported by the blood, to provide energy to live and building matter for the body. These biological facts are portrayed in a more general, cultural, political and social framework. Judgements on appropriate diets, the notion of well-being and the importance of sport are made in this context.

The section entitled digesting invites visitors to test their senses, explains how digestion occurs what the role of metabolism is - cycles of matter and energy - and presents different types of 'eaters'. Here more than anywhere else in the museum, the visitor is the centrepiece, with his own body becoming both the subject and the object of the exhibition.
