I took Matt their on his birthday yesterday, as we've both been meaning to check it out.
You're seeing human bodies right in front of your face (no glass for the bodies, just the organs) I could still see pores on noses and backs, it was incredible. There's a special, all black room where nervous systems and veins were given glowing color and it could have been an art exhibit. Organs sliced sideways like meat so you could see everything... it may sound bad but it was just fascinating. Knowing that that was an actual person really gives the whole thing reverence. Tell that to the fucking soccer mom that just ushered her son to the displays that held the answers to his homework, as she read off what he was to write down word to word, not actually learning or appreciating anything. This is why scores are down and kids can't read anymore... parents just care about grades, not actual information. Anyway, sorry for that tangent.
There was a room just for babies, fetuses. They had ones who were see through, where you could see their veins, brain, heart. They also had defects, cojoined twins and one where their organs develop on the outside.
I loved it and I'm glad I got the experience. I learned so much about my body I had no idea about and now I want to take even better care of it. If you get the chance, you should definitely see it.
