Bodies Exhibit
Joseph:
The exhibit is really welll done. It came through Vancouver last year, and the depth of detail that you are able to see the organs and body systems in is fascinating. It was really educational, and very well displayed. I'm rather certain all the bodies in the Body Worlds exhibit were agreed to be donated before death, so that didn't phase me much, but I'm unsure about immitators. It did start to feel a tad creepy, looking at some of the plastinates in more artistic forms, especially one that involved a woman holding her own heart.
But, aside from a few slight shudders, I really enjoyed it. Highly recommend going, if you're at all interested in the science of the human body. I went with my family, and didn't get to look around and read as much of the information as I would have liked, so be warned that if you want all the details, it takes a fair while.
EDIT: Apparently the BODIES exhibit that Linds started the topic about is one of the copies of the original Body Worlds. I'm not sure how the dobies for this exhibit were taken, and it may have been more shady.
Lines:
Yeah, the show called Bodies is a copy of Body World. I heard about Body World a few years ago when some people I knew were in Chicago and saw it. This one sounds more artistic, as I heard about there being one of a horse and a rider. This show sounds pretty awesome and there's no suspicion as to where the bodies were obtained from. (I still wouldn't be able to see it though, as I get the jibblies just from seeing photos of the exhibit.)
Joseph:
The horse and rider is a Body Worlds plastinate, unless they copied the configuration of the bodies as well as the idea for the Bodies exhibit.
Lines:
I was refering to Body Worlds and I doubt Bodies made a copy, as most of their exhibit doesn't involve positions like that.
Liz:
So I discovered at least one other person on my spring break trip that would be interested in going to see the exhibit at the Witte Museum. I am quite excited.
Though she also would like to go see The Phantom of the Opera, so I have to decide between the two.
