Blood Science Gallery
Trinity College Dublin, Free The Science Gallery's latest show is quite the dark, pulsing affair. An exhibition based on blood was always going to quicken the pulse, and this one is definitely not for those on the shy side of squeamish. You can get to grips with the power of your own pump with Aorta Flow, discover the truth behind the phrase "blood is thicker than water", and get a personal soundtrack based entirely on your pulse. Ours leads off with Eye of the Tiger by Survivor and no two-bit scientific mumbo jumbo machine can tell us otherwise.
