Body Worlds

[Philagoofy]

If you visited the travelling exhibit "Body Worlds" a few years ago, what did you think? Was it worth it, too weird, interesting? There's a second exhibit that will be touring again.

I just saw it last month in Buffalo-very cool, you can almost imagine they aren't real people. I think the fact that you have no info on the person-age, personal information-makes it easier to handle. I do wish they had shown different aged bodies side by side so you could see the difference in muscle between a young person and an older person who has lost muscle. I wasn't at all creeped out by it.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago in San Diego. They now have a part of the exhibit about the brain. I wasn't creeped out by it either. If you're really, really squeamish about seeing real human body parts(including diseased ones), then it may not be for you. Some people brought their kids in, though, and the kids weren't too freaked out. I personally thought that it was really interesting and worth the money.
