Are you average?

"Are you average?

We’re looking for the average British man and woman to become sculptures in our revamped Who am I? gallery

These average Brits – whose vital statistics most closely match those published in the latest NHS health study – will have their life-sized naked bodies scanned and replicated in paper using the latest rapid prototyping technology, also known as 3D printing.

The life-sized paper people will then appear in the Who am I? gallery, where the latest developments in brain science and genetics are explored through a mixture of interactive exhibits, object-rich displays and artworks. The existing gallery will remain open until 4 January and the revamped gallery will open in summer 2010."
