Have you seen the body worlds exhibit?

Asked by boxer3 (4150points) September 27th, 2011

Someone had brought this up a couple years ago, but I was just thinking about the exhibit, and I was wondering who has seen it, why you went, what you thought of it.

For those of you who don’t know body worlds is a traveling exhibit in which bodies are preserved and positioned into doing different activities: in which the muscles are placed as they would be in a living person doing that activity. There are some animals as well. Also a baby section, including the fetus at different stages of development and organs such as a smoker v. non smoker’s lungs. There are many many many different aspects to this exhibit.

I saw it twice when I was in highschool, once with my anatomy class, once with my art class.

What do you guys think. good idea bad idea- no opinion.

Here’s an example of one of the subjects
