Mon, 17 Mar 2008 02:41:15 -0700 by IJsfontein

In the Dutch science center Corpus, visitors can take a trip through the human body. IJsfontein was asked by Vifit -- a brand of the company Campina -- to create an interactive exhibit that explains the LGG-bacterium. By throwing balls (representing the bacteria) against the wall of your intestine you can wipe out all the bad bacteria, leaving the good bacteria to protect you. A playful way to experience this part of the human body! The exhibit was created together with ZEE, Bruns and A1. Corpus is opened in march 2008. More about IJsfontein at www.ijsfontein.nl.
