NINE-YEAR-OLD Matthew Waller studied stunning x-rays of animal and human skeletons at Science Oxford.

The pupil at St Birinus Primary School in Dorchester visited the science education centre in St Clement’s Street, Oxford, yesterday with his father Martin, 42, and brother Sam, seven.

Matthew said: “It was really interesting to look at the x-rays. It was my first visit to Science Oxford and I really enjoyed it.”

Mr Waller, an IT consultant who works in Abingdon, said: “Science Oxford was open, so we thought we would come in and have a look. We all really enjoyed it and I think we’ll come back again.”

Science Oxford spokesman Dominic McDonald said the x-ray exhibit was in the museum’s Discovery Zone.

He added: “There’s a biological element to this display and we are also showing the physics of colour.”
