Bodyworlds
09.26.06 (5:35 pm)   [edit]

I checked out the Bodyworlds 3 exhibit at my local Science World on the weekend. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed! The exhibit was really neat. Those dead bodies looked fake!!! I wanted to touch them, but I am sure touching was not allowed. It was really neat to see muscles and organs. It really brought back memories of biology.

The eyes were unreal. They stuck on boobs and nipples for the women, I am sure. But a lot of the specimens were male. So many sackless men with separated testes. The cross sections were really neat. I enjoyed looking at the blood vessels and the guy holding up his skin best.

It took an hour to go through the whole exhibit. I wish I had bought the audio package too. The price was okay -- there aren't that many opportunities to see plastinated bodies!  I think I would see this exhibit again but it wouldn't be as exciting as the first time. After all, the bodies looked kind of the same; it's just that they were in different poses.

Hi rosie!
Wow, I have never seen or heard of an exhibit like this one before, but it sounds very interesting!! It sucks that you didn't get to take any pics - I would have looked forward to seeing one on your blog LOL j/k Sounds like it was a really neat experience :-)

Fascinating. I'm very into all sorts of stuff like that; I wish they had more exhibits and things around here, beats going to the movies all the time. Glad you have a good time. :)

I was eating breakfast while I did some blog reading.
Until I read this.

Bodyworlds was great! If you want to see what I saw, you can get an idea at their website. It's just bodyworlds[dot]com.

Thanks :) I almost bought the book at the exhibit. There were lots of photos of their specimens and a lot of information!

It's funny that you mention that they looked fake. A girl friend of mine who also went to the show said the same thing! I'm hoping to get out there next month to see it!

Their evening rate is a bit cheaper..$20 as opposed to the $25 I paid. Actually, I paid more since there was a fee to book over the phone, but now you can book tickets online!

It's hard to believe that the bodies there are real, that's for sure. There were a couple of animals, too.

As a result of your posting, I was utterly FAMISHED yesterday afternoon. I couldn't even recall what your posting was about, but I told a fellow fish tanker that it was ALL your fault. LOL
