1. My dear PeaceNikki!

Yes!

I have seen it, and it will knock your socks off!

It is just amazing...

All these cool bodies with their innards showing, and very well done...

It is extremely educational too...

Enjoy!

:bounce:

2. Thanks, Peggy!

I'm sure I will enjoy it. If nothing else, I'll be in GREAT company. She will more than likely make it well worth the price of admission! :)

3. If you've got the nerve.... walk around the exhibits while eating some jerky

- that'll really freak people out. Ok- that was twisted. Yes, its a fascinating exhibit.

4. yeah I saw it in Buenos Aires a few months ago..

was disappointed there weren't any of the horse exhibits that I had seen in the original photos. Still pretty cool. Also, if you smoke or go with someone who does, be prepared to either want to quit or feel guilty about your addiction. They even have this big clear box people have thrown their ciggarettes into as a gesture to quit.

5. I saw it in Rosslyn when I visited DC.

It's like looking at a live version of a Carcass album cover. Especially the skin layout.

6. Some people are not able to stomach it

But those with a lot of nerve actually get off on it.

You will have to do a lot of circulating, but some of it will tickle your funny bone.

7. I took my kids. We all thought it was great.

It's a combination of art and anatomy - very educational.

My 7-year-old son wants to donate his body to BodyWorlds when he dies. I told him he'll probably have to wait 80 or 90 years and suggested he be an organ donor as well, and he agreed :)

8. I went a couple of years ago... still amazed!

I could have stayed a LOT longer than i did, because i found it all to be so fascinating.

Makes me appreciate the expertise of doctors and nurses more, too...
