Mouth wide open
To discover your smile, your body and good oral hygiene habits
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
The exhibition is open to the public throughout all visiting hours
The exhibition
A bocca aperta è concepita come un’esperienza di apprendimento attivo, in cui il gioco diventa uno strumento per costruire conoscenze e consapevolezza.
La mostra incoraggia i bambini a prendersi cura di sé fin dalla più tenera età, ponendo l’accento sull’esperienza diretta, sulla scoperta e sulla gioia di imparare insieme attraverso un linguaggio chiaro e accessibile, adatto ai più piccoli.
A bocca aperta is designed as an active learning experience, in which play becomes a tool for building knowledge and awareness.
The exhibition encourages children to look after themselves from an early age, emphasising hands-on experience, discovery and the joy of learning together through clear, accessible language that is suitable for young children.
The stations
A Bocca Aperta unfolds through a series of interactive experiences that take children on a real journey.
Mouth wide open
A large, life-size mouth invites children to reconstruct the lower dental arch, recognise the differences between teeth, and explore the tongue and taste buds through a fun and engaging activity.
Mission: Healthy Mouth
A touchscreen station that allows users to practise brushing their teeth and tongue correctly, helping them to develop good oral hygiene habits through a digital game.
Smile!
An activity designed to explore the skull structures and dentition of four different species. Comparing them stimulates scientific curiosity and offers a fresh perspective on the diversity of the natural world.
A masterpiece of a smile!
Thanks to face-tracking technology, children can play with the smiles of famous figures from art history, creating surprising images. A visual and personal experience that combines creativity, technology and cultural heritage, turning children into the stars of the show.
The history of the toothbrush
A large interactive display is also dedicated to the evolution of the toothbrush: a visual and narrative journey that promotes awareness and understanding through accessible language and content designed for younger generations.
Developed in collaboration with Oral-B
If you are searching for infinity, you will find it in a child’s smile. Cherish that smile; it is the life of the world.
