Bodies...The Exhibition

[FlyingJ 0]

I just got back from seeing "Bodies...The Exhibition" at the Atlanta Civic Center. http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/intro.html All I can say is WOW! It was truly amazing. I really didn't know what to think going in, but I loved it, and so did everyone in my family from my 13yr old cousin to aprox. 80yr old grandparents.

If you are in a town where it is being exhibited I suggest making the visit no questions asked, and wouldn't hesitate suggesting someone make a road trip to see it either.

WOW!

My reality and yours are quite different.

hehe...ironically, yes, did see some familiar faces, thankfully none of them on display!

It is very easy to step away from the fact that they were all once living and look at it as lifesize models of your anatomy textbook. The only times it hits you that they actually lived were when it points out someone with blackened lungs from smoking, etc. It was really neat to see the effect different diseases have on our bodies.

The same thing is in Denver right now. I saw it a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed it as well.

I saw it in Tampa one day when we were weathered out at Z-hills. I was amazaed by the detal of the disections. All the stuff I learned in anatomy/physiology was right before my eyes. Truly amazing. What I came away from ther most with was an intense curiosity about how they got some of the specimens that they came up with. Just wow.

I saw it in ATL a couple months back...Absolutely fascinating.
I was impressed how they were able to seperate the different systems(from a technical pov...)
It's amazing how the different systems fit and work together.
I was suprised at how easy it was to spot the smokers...All the lungs had some contaminents(living in an industrial age.), but the smokers lungs were plain as day to spot.

wow.... I also went there in april while visiting my friend at The Farm. Is amazing what they did with those bodies. I almost took a bite out of one, It looked like a huge beef jerky... The best was the tanks that had the whole body in alteries.

Is that the same thing as Body Worlds? I just saw that in Houston. Polyester clad dissected human bodies. (posed)


There was one on a dissected HORSE and some more sitting around a poke table. ONE of them held a dead man's hand.

Fantastic exhibit.

I saw this a month ago in Tampa. I was truly amazed. The black lung was especially interesting... I quit smoking 1.5 years ago. You can never really learn enough about the human body. It fascinates me. "Bodies" was by far the most beautifully intelligent art exhibit I have ever experienced. The intricacy of vascular system blew my mind as well. It is nice to share the appreciation. We have to take care of ourselves. Right on, man!

I think it's the same concept.

It was amazing wondering (and learning) how they pulled all the various pieces apart. One of the most amazing things to me was looking at the partial and full bodies consisting of nothing but the circulatory system. Everything else was gone. Apparently they replace blood with a polymer that hardens and then chemically wash the rest of the body away, leaving a full skeleton of nothing but the arteries, veins, ets. Just unreal!!!

I look forward to going again down the road sometime when I can take more time to really explore everything in depth while not totally overwhelmed with seeing it for the first time.

I think the best thing about the trip was seeing how many kids were so excited about seeing the exhibits.
