1. My dear Xema!
Yes, I've been!

I loved it!

Very interesting, very educational....

Not sensational at all...

People tiptoed around as though they were in church, talking quietly among themselves...

Absolutely fascinating!

Go!

:hi:

4. It can be very disturbing
The woman who was 8 months pregnant with her belly sliced off exposing the unborn child inside her made me sick.

5. We saw it in San Jose. It was absolutely fascinating.
Like CalPeggy said, people were walking around quietly as they looked and speaking in hushed, reverential tones. It was quite unique. We took the whole family. Very educational. :thumbsup:

6. The exhibit was in Branson for a short time..
Our nursing class was planning to go for a clinical day. Exhibit closed and moved (way before they were supposed to) before we could get there. :(

Some of my classmates got to go, but I had a conflict and had to miss it. I sooooo wish I could have gone.

All my friends loved it and I really hate that I had to miss it. Would love to go if it comes close again.

7. Really fascinating
Seeing up close in real life what I'd only seen before in text books.

8. Went 2 years ago when we were on vacation in Tampa...

Oktoberain and OktoberKid went to the hand-on 'children's museum section of the MOSI, and i spent a little over an hour meandering through the exhibit.

Definitely go, if you think you can stomach it. I did see a few people leave abruptly (guess they had seen all they could handle), but most of the other guests were quiet, interested, and spoke to each other in hushed tones.

Thoroughly amazing, and gave me a greater appreciation for those in the medical field, or anyone who has ever had to pass an anatomy class.

Amazing. Just amazing!
