DailyBugle_JL Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I dont know if this has been said but there is a Bodies exhibit here in Atl. Its been here for a while but its finished Sept 10th.

Jive Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I actually went to one of these in Cleveland a few years back. Interesting is a good word to describe it. The side boob action left was less than desirable. The wife spotted a female bladder next to a male one and now she has proof that women are a crappy design. The male bladder was the size of a grapefruit give or take the female one was closer to a plum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chavslayer Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 He did a tv show here in britain recently called anatomy for begginers. I nearly threw up after my brother made me watch some of that programme, I thought it was a bit too gross to be educational. I remember it being on a nine o clock which i thought was a bit strange too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 We had 2 of these, but they were called Body Works 1 and 2. Looks really interesting, I wish I could of seen it before it left. Anyways, the horse, to my knowledge was only in Texas for a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdstrom Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hey, I have been to that exact exhibit in Chicago. It was at the Science & Industry Museum and man... stuff you see in there are definitely creepy and bizarre. I highly recommend it though... a bit NC-17 but very interesting.

noyzz Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 This is the last weekend for it here in the good ole Atl.....It's a creepy but fun exhibit........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookbaby Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Yeah, I went to the one that was on exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. It was pretty sick. I probably shouldn't have chosen to eat before hand either. Also, let's just say that the look on that kids face on the first page... was pretty much my reaction (albiet cool) to the entire exhibit.

ElBlufer Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I saw body world at the science center in LA and found it to be fascinating. I see how it could make some queasy though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 A lost of "I remember when they had that exhibit at...." Hate to be a nitpick, but sorry. There was only one original exhibit (Van Hugen's, or whatever his name was). Due to the success of that highly controversal excercise, companies all around the world have gotten in on the action. When one rolls into your town, it may sound unique and unprecedented, but there are probably about 8-10 rip offs running around at the moment. The one at MOSI at Tampa uses bodies from China which went unclaimed. Both Chinese and American policy is to donate unclaimed, unidentified bodies to science. The controversy has been, as far as I can tell, that (1) nothing in that policy suggests it is okay to display these bodies to the public, and (2) certain exhibits have crossed the line from science into art. This latter point is especially evident in the original exhibit, such as that man on the horse holding his brain in one hand and the horse's in the other.

ECZenith Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Yeah, the artsy stuff is very weird but the actual scientific exhibit sounds interesting. I think I would be all set missing it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 The Anatomy for Beginners show has just aired in Australia on SBS - the country's default network for showing weird international programs - and it was actually a pretty interesting series. I saw a few episodes - really intriguing one on the digestive system where he completley unravelled the digestive tract over a 12m long table. My viewing stopped however when I turned the show on a fortnight ago and saw the beginnings of a testicle dissection. I'm squirming in my seat now and I don't think it's an image that's going to leave my brain too soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyPants Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I saw Bodyworld 2 in Cleveland last year. I found it to be an amazing display, certainly the most intriguing and worthwhile museum display I've ever seen, and I can't imagine ever topping it. It was a combination of disgusting and unbelievably fascinating. It didn't seem like it was designed to shock or repulse. More like it was to show the incredible intricacies of the human body, in interesting and (mostly) beautiful ways. And believe me, diagrams in biology textbooks and plaster models don't even begin to demonstrate the subtle, complex systems & structures in human bodies. One exhibit that sticks out is a complete human circulatory system (minus the miniscule capilaries) floating in a liquid. Also cool was three sets of lungs... Normal, smokers lungs, and coal miner's lungs. First you see the normal ones which are pretty white, except for a couple dark specs from dust accumation over the person's life. Next is smoker's lung, and the word that comes quickly to mind is 'repulsive.' Then the coal miner's lung, which makes the smokers's lung look healthy. It even glistened the way a hunk of coal does. Horrible! The display was at the Science Center, and it definitely was presented as a learning experience (which it was) and not a freak-show amusement. It was VERY worth seeing. In fact, I saw it twice, and would gladly see it again. Highly recommended, even for kids, though maybe not super little ones (there were quite a few kids there.)

Tomizzle For Rizzle Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Yeah, this was in Atlanta back during SFOG media day. CRAE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 BTW, I noticed that this, or something really close to this was on display at the Tropicana in Las Vegas. Did anyone go see it? --Robb "Thought it was REALLY an odd thing for Vegas!!!" Alvey I saw it, Robb, it was quite odd, it was interesting, but the whole time you had to convince yourself that what you were sing was REAL. It just didn't SEEM real, how they were dried, how they were displayed, and how they were NOT enclosed, you could touch them if you had the urge to. The weird thing was, *I* nor anyone that i saw in the exhibit, looked gorssed out at all. Thats odd, because i can't squish a bug bigger then a house fly without thinking its digusting. It was cool though, the tounge freaked me out, and the baby room was just sad. *has nightmares about the "frog baby". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methylene Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Body Worlds 3 ran all Summer here in Houston. It was really, really, entertaining. Went out and saw it a couple of times. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
