I saw dead people…
I had a blind date on Saturday night. Not in the sense that I didn’t know who I was going with…but instead I didn’t know where I was going. The surprise? Dead people!
Annika took me to go see the Bodies Human exhibit…real people who have been made plastic by a process called plastination. I have to say, it’s pretty cool to be able to look inside the human body and see all the bits and pieces.
I do have a few comments about the exhibit. It’s not big enough! The site says it will take you 1-2 hours to see everything. I’m calling bullshit on that. 30-45 minutes unless it’s busy or you are really taking your time. I also think their website is a little misleading saying there are 100 bodies on exhibit. There are about 15 full bodies…but they must be counting each ‘piece’ of a body. So that heart sitting on display counts as a body.
Don’t get me wrong…it was totally worth going. I missed a similiar exhibit of plastination a couple of years ago and I’m thrilled I got the chance to finally see it. If you want to take a look at a few of the photos I snapped, check out the gallery.
