Zombie apocalypses are something people usually shy away from but the UNSW Museum of Human Diseases popular outreach program is aimed at the public.
It is Australia's only accessible collection of diseased tissue.
Museum director Derek Williamson said people will be face-to-face with the deadliest global killers in a completely safe environment.
"This series of activities is a fun way to learn about some serious diseases and their impact on the human body," Mr Williamson said.
Visitors will learn to recognise and treat diseases including SARS, influenza, bird and swine flu, and of course the Zombie Apocalypse.
"It's an enjoyable hands-on learning experience for both children and adults.
It can also inspire students to get more involved in health and medicine - there may even be some future doctors in the crowd," Mr Williams said.
The public is advised to consider the appropriateness of the display for themselves or their children before buying a ticket.
All tickets for the sessions from 5pm until 8.30pm next Tuesday must be pre-booked at http://medicalsciences.med.unsw.edu.au/community/museum-human-disease/home
Prices are adult $12.59, child $6.29, adult accompanying a child $8.41.
