If you live in North America, drop everything to go to this show before it leaves Los Angeles in January of 2005. Actually, I don't know where the exhibition is going next, so it might find its way closer to you. I never thought it would ever come to the USA. I saw it in Belgium and it alone would have been worth the trip.
It is the best opportunity, short of medical school, that you will ever have to get to see inside the human body, every part of it, every muscle, joint, organ, and so on. It is simply the most staggering exposition of the human body ever presented.
Here is also a link to the Körperwelten (Body Worlds) website.
I saw this in Chicago at the Museum of Science and Industry. We came to Chicago to go shopping on Michigan Avenue. This exhibit was better than the shopping!! It made my whole trip. I really want my boyfriend to see this as we both work in the hospital in surgery. However, the flight to Chicago is expensive, so hopefully this exhibit will come closer to us in Omaha Nebraska. What a learning experience!! After seeing this exhibit I was ready to sign the consent. I only wish I had seen this exhibit prior to going to nursing school. It would have made seeing the body in a book much easier to understand. Thank you to those families and individuals who have donated their body to science. What a wonderful gift.
