Bodies... The Exhibition offers a fascinating look into the human body, but it's not for the squeamish. It is both thrilling and disconcerting to visit Bodies... The Exhibition. Unlike the models and diagrams I remember from biology, at Bodies, you get to peer at real human bodies that have been preserved for the exhibition.
Each area highlights a particular system of the body, including the nervous system, the muscular system and the reproductive system. There are models of entire (or nearly so) body systems, as well as individual organs on display. The displays featured both healthy body systems and diseased organs. There was a warning for visitors before entering a room featuring fetuses at various stages of development, and you could bypass the room easily if you might find that content upsetting.
Depending on your level of interest, you could easily spend an hour or two looking at the many specimens on display.
