The Body Worlds exhibit
Has anyone ever gone to see it?
I went last weekend and at times it was creepy, disturrbing and fascinating.
Not something for the faint of heart or weak of stomach but give it a shot...
it is probably the most realistic way of seeing workings of the human body short of going to a medical examiner's office

I saw it at the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland a few years ago. I think it is a really interesting and different way to learn about anatomy/physiology and it didn't really come off as disgusting the way they had it displayed. I do agree though that people who are very sensitive to that kind of imagery would probably feel very uncomfortable. I would love to see it again if it ever comes back around to OH.

I saw it at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago a couple years ago. It was fascinating.

The creepiest one I saw had to have been the pregnant woman....

I worked as a docent in the Atlanta exhibit. We were part security guards and part tour guides. It was interesting for me.

I have to say though, after seeing Body Worlds and then some of the knockoffs, go to Body Worlds, it's more a combination of art and science, while the knockoffs aren't as well done.

I know, right?!
And thanks.... losing to Davidson was tough. The front page of the Post has the men's team in the locker room looking de-jected.

Either way....after seeing that exhibit...cremation is still my top choice of personal disposal....
