With This Morning's resident physician, Dr Zoe Williams, Activia opened the doors to the What the Gut museum for a limited time. Entry tickets to the pop-up museum are free and it helps to educate the public on the importance of gut health. In an abstract way, the experiential museum provides a journey through the body, starting with a mouth-shaped entrance that then leads to the esophagus, stomach and intestines.
Situated on Soho's Greek Street, the pop-up museum is organized into three separate areas: Gut Feels, Gut Connections, and Gut TLC.
This museum was conceptualized in response to research that suggests that the majority of people don't understand how the gut functions and how they can better support this important part of the body that's responsible for so much more than just digestion.
