Look Under the Skin and Inside Bodies...

ASSI - Bodies…The Exhibition is an exciting display of the inner makings of the human body. The skeleton frame, muscle definition, fatty tissues, and organ parts of the human body is familiar to all of us. However, Bodies does wonders for exposing healthy and cancerous organs, and if you’re a smoker the lung display may cause you to toss your cigarettes in the bin next to the display. There are nine exhibit rooms with encased organs and actual standing figures to provide an in depth look at human organs. It takes about an hour to tour the entire exhibition that begins with the dominant species, a quick cover of the female anatomy, and ending with the start of life. Regardless of your feelings on abortion the embryo exhibit was rather touching. There are fetus exhibits that began at four weeks until birth, you see an outer image, and you see an inner image marrow and all. One of the more interesting displays was a scanned body image that was reminiscent of an extent dinosaur bone display. Have you seen a fetus with external organs? What does your Central Nervous System look like? Can you image encountering human skin without a body? You will see that and more at Bodies…The Exhibition now on display at the Dome in Roslyn, VA until October 14, 2007. Bodies the exhibition is on a national tour in selected cities and countries, please click on http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/ for other locations. As I see it Bodies…The Exhibition receives four blinks.

AHSI- The Bodies Exhibition is an interesting museum displaying all parts of the body and how they work simultaneously together. It shows the different stages of life displaying the developmental stages of the embryo to the fetus and it also shows death by all types of cancer and other diseases found inside and outside of the body. It was a very educational experience that at times, reminded me of different things that I had been taught over the years. I was able to see it up close and personal. The Exhibition is less than thirty minutes in traffic from Washington DC. The Museum was very modern and divided into approximately nine sections. I would recommend the exhibit to all tourists, especially those interested in biology, science, physical therapy/education and anthropology. If you wish to show a child or a smoker, what affect their organs (skin, heart, lungs etc.) will have if they’re not cared for properly. I give the museum 3 eyeballs.
