Body Worlds

[Hosakawa Tito]

We have an exhibit of Body Worlds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg7FuKqKY4E) in a local museum available till October. I was thinking of picking up tickets to take the family & visiting relatives in August. Has anyone here been to one?
Did you enjoy it?

I went to one on a school field trip, and it was fairly enjoyable, and educational. And not nearly as disgusting as some people claim them to be. After you spend a while there, you think less of the bodies being human, and more like being wax sculptures or something, which can be good, or bad, come to think of it. Apart from the exhibits themselves, there are numerous posters and audio-books to tell you what a particular preservation is intended to represent, so it isn't a few hours of staring blankly at dead people.

I went and was amazed by it. The way the bodies are preserved and the art of it is outstanding, most particularly the exhibitions with only the veins.

[Whacker]

Haven't been, but would very much like to go.

[Hooahguy]

is it the same thing as the Bodies exhibit thats circulating the US?

[naut]

Holy crap. As I understand it those are bodies with plastic injected in them?

Reminds me of the disease centre at Sydney Uni. Rather disgusting seeing real diseased body parts in jars.

Some people call it "art." :laugh4:

But in all seriousness, I would very much enjoy checking one of these out.

Went to it whilst in Salt Lake last Winter, I thought it was pretty amazing. I'd recommend going.

Definitely worth going :yes:
