Ever wonder just how the human body functions? The Health Museum in Houston holds several life-size and interactive exhibits where you can get up close and personal with human anatomy. Opportunities to channel your inner scientist are abundant, whether you want to learn about microbiomes or observe real organ dissections. You don't have to go far to experience this mystifying journey as the museum is near our very own Houston apartments.

Discover How Epidemics Evolve

Explore how the planet is interconnected and influence how viruses spread. Through this exhibit, you'll learn about different infectious diseases and outbreaks throughout history. Find out how certain ones, like smallpox, were eradicated; how medical professionals and the public come together towards determining safety protocols; and the importance of vaccines created by scientists.

View the Body's Organs Up Close

With over thirty interactive videos and kiosks and enlarged models of various organs including a 12-foot tall beating heart, you'll get to learn all about what makes our organs so important. Speaking of organs, check out their "Doc Dissection" series where you can witness an actual dissection of organs in person. Perhaps it isn't for the faint-hearted but it sure is an educational moment you'll remember forever.

Appreciate the Air You Breathe

Breathing is something we do without even thinking and air quality is something we often take for granted. Learn about Houston's air quality and how pollutants effect our health. Visit their exhibit to learn more, or simply head to The Health Museum's website for diagrams on how our lungs inhale and absorb the air around us.

Art classes are another way to learn something new while also having fun. Houston is a large city, with so many unique things to see and do. Let us know you like to spend your free time and schedule a tour with Lincoln Heights Apartments today.
